So start with it somewhere else, or it will install over itself, creating confusion and mayhem!
A psycopg2 install from source requires C compilation: do you have Visual Studio or the free C toolchain installed? Are you *sure* there were no build errors? This is what I get from python setup.py build (a halfway house to avoid attempts to overwrite my working psycopg2 installation) on my Windows box: C:\Users\sholden\Documents\psycopg2-2.0b8>python setup.py build running build running build_py creating build creating build\lib.win32-2.5 creating build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 copying lib\extensions.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 copying lib\extras.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 copying lib\pool.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 copying lib\psycopg1.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 copying lib\tz.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 copying lib\__init__.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\psycopg2 running build_ext Warning: 'pg_config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. I believe for Python 2.6 you need a later version of Visual Studio: this was a 2.5 build.
