Edit your C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\easy-install.pth file, and change 
that line to read './importing-1.9.1-py2.4.egg' instead.  Then upgrade to 
the latest setuptools, either 0.7a1dev:

     ez_setup.py setuptools==dev

or 0.6b2dev:

     ez_setup.py setuptools==dev06

Sorry about the bug, it's a side effect of the package name.  I didn't 
discover it on my local machine because I was using "develop" mode, which 
uses an absolute path.  I've now fixed setuptools to always use 
'./whatever' for paths in .pth files, so this should not reoccur once you 
upgrade setuptools.
