setuptools - which you install using the ez_setup.py - will install a script called easy_install. Under unix, this is installed in /usr/bin, I'm not sure where it is installed under windows - go use a search. But this script takes an egg-file as argument, and installs it. So - either open the shell of your choice and type easy_install <egg> or maybe you can even use that via drag-n-drop to a desktop-link to that easy_install-script, as dropping an egg over a program icon should pass that as first argument.
