What I recommend is that you install pip and virtualenv, create a folder (say, C:\virtual\) where you will place different python "environments" per virtualenv, then create a folder (say, C:\projects) where you will create different django projects.
This way you can always use virtualenv to "activate" different environments and not need to install libraries system-wide. Basically (blue commands are to be typed in the command prompt): 01. Go to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip#downloads 02. Download the archive, extract the contents to a given folder (you might need 7-zip[1]). 03. Open the command prompt (Winkey+R, type in "cmd" with no quotes) 04. cd into the folder created by the extracted archive in step 02 05. python setup.py install 06. Make sure you have C:\Python27\Scripts in your PATH. 06.1. Do this by typing set PATH=C:\Python27\Scripts;%PATH% in the command prompt 07. pip install virtualenv 08. mkdir c:\virtual && mkdir c:\projects 09. cd c:\virtual 10. virtualenv --no-site-packages myfirstenvironment (you can name this after your project if you want to) 11. cd myfirstenvironment *12. Activate your environment: C:\virtual\myfirstenvironment\Scripts\activate.bat* If you want the development version of Django: 13.A. pip install git+https://github.com/django/django.git#egg=django If you want a stable release: 13.B. pip install django 14. Whenever you need to install a package, just do the same as in step #12 but type the package name instead of django. Don't forget to activate your environment whenever you open a command prompt window and BEFORE you start working on your project! I think that about sums it up. Using this on linux is of course easier. I hope I didn't miss any steps, but I'm sure others will correct me if I forgot anything.
