[Scons-users] No more windows installers? (Pip/tar/zip going forward)

I've been using the 64bit Windows installers. pip does not seem to work for
me at the moment, if it did it would be an acceptable alternative.

I've been avoiding setup.py installs, because it is more tedious and puts
scons.bat in a different location than the installers do (C:\Python27
versus C:\Python27\Scripts), causing problems when installing multiple
versions of scons and mixing the two conventions.

 Is this pip error a known problem?
