I'm trying to install easy_install using setup tools for the purpose of installing scrapy on Windows XP. On the setup tools page it says:

Once installation is complete, you will find an easy_install.exe program in your Python Scripts subdirectory. Be sure to add this directory to your PATH environment variable, if you haven't already done so.

But when i install I only find an easy_install.exe.manifest file, and I'm not able to run this file. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm new to this. I'm not quite sure what this sentence means either:

Be sure to add this directory to your PATH environment variable, if you haven't already done so.

It means that you should have the path to the directory containing the file when you do 

echo %PATH% (windows)
echo $PATH (linux/cygwin/...)

in the command line. If it does not appear, you should add it.

To do so check out the following links
