The alternative to this with Nimbula Director 1.5.0 is to download the Windows installer from your tools directory of your API endpoint (http://api.site.nimbula/tools)

1) Download and install "Python 2.7.2 Windows Installer" from here: http://www.python.org/getit/
Add c:\Python27 in the PATH environment variable

2) Download and install setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe from here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#files

3) Download and extract both archives from here:
https://your_cluster_name/tools/source/

4) In the bAPI-x.y.z directory, run:

python setup.py install

5) In the bCLI-x.y.z directory, run:

python setup.py install

6) All of the nimbula related CLI python scripts get installed in c:\python27\Scripts\
You can invoke the CLI from a CMD windows the following way:

set NIMBULA_API=https://your_cluster_name
python \python27\Scripts\nimbula-api list instance /account -u /account/user

7) Optional - Download and extract Unix Utils from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ (to extract the tools' tar.gz archives)
I usually create a c:\bin directory where I extract all the .EXEs in, and add it to the PATH environment variable.
