 I tested this out and found that while buildslave is installed in the
 Scripts directory, it still doesn't work for me. I tried running the
 buildslave script directly:

 {{{
 D:\buildbot-slave-0.8.1-rc2>python c:\Python26\Scripts\buildslave
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python26\Scripts\buildslave", line 4, in <module>
    import pkg_resources
  File "c:\Python26\lib\site-
 packages\setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg\pkg_resources.p
 y", line 2562, in <module>
  File "c:\Python26\lib\site-
 packages\setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg\pkg_resources.p
 y", line 626, in require
  File "c:\Python26\lib\site-
 packages\setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg\pkg_resources.p
 y", line 524, in resolve
 pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: buildbot-slave==0.8.1-rc2
 }}}

 I compared this to running buildbot 0.8.0's script directly, which worked
 fine.

 The corresponding bat file is also still missing. This is easy enough to
 fix and I can submit a patch for that, but I don't understand why
 easy_install thinks buildbot-slave is not installed. I did notice that it
 now installs an egg file instead of the extracted egg in a
 directory under site-packages.

 I saw the patch:
   http://github.com/djs/buildbot/commits/bugfix_win32
 and I'll leave it to Ben to merge it, since it's a patch to the branch.

 As for not finding the distribution - the buildslave package does not use
 __file__, so it can be installed as an egg (a zip file), rather than as a
 directory containing .py files.  I wonder if this results in the
 setuptools being unable to find it?

 Can you try rebuilding the egg from setup.py, but adding { 'zip_safe' :
 False } to setup_args?

 'zip_safe' : False seems to do it. I'm able to run buildslave.bat now.
