title: .EXE installer crashes when installing Python modules: IPython, Pandas and Matplotlib
body: <p>I have recently installed <code>numpy</code> due to ease using the exe installer for Python 2.7. However, when I attempt to install IPython, Pandas or Matplotlib using the exe file, I consistently get a variant of the following error right after the installation commeces (pandas in the following case):</p>
  
  <p>pandas-0.8.0.win32-py2.7[1].exe has stopped working</p>
  
  <p>The problem caused the program to stop working correctly: windows close the program and notify whether a solution is available.</p>
  
  <p>NumPy just worked fine when I installed it. This is extremely frustrating and I would appreciate any insight. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
