Comment 3 for bug 382214

Right, but unfortunately setuptools doesn't install for the exact same reason. I did figure out how to build my own installer by issuing the command setup.py bdist_wininst, and at the least I now have IPython working with shortcuts and everything, although I did the same for setuptools and it did not work.

If it's that easy to generate the installer, it would be nice to at least put up a note for users of 64 bit Windows so they don't waste time trying to figure this out. Since the website is a wiki, this shouldn't be hard to do, but I'm not sure what the phrasing should be or where the notice should go.

Anyway, thanks for the help; something else should probably be done to help other people who run into the same situation, which will increase as more people move to 64 bit Windows.
