Such installers have a GUI interface; one normally runs them by double- clicking on the filename or icon in Windows Explorer. If you run it from the command line in a Command Prompt window [I guess that's what you mean by "console"], I'd expect it to pop up a GUI window and run OK (with nothing printed on the console) -- at least that's what it did for me, with Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 SP4. The W2k box doesn't have Python 2.5; SciPy installation does get as far as detecting Python 2.5 isn't there. Perhaps your download was corrupt; consider trying it again.
