My Windows 7 64-bit configured as suggested by Dan works fine. Python isn't in the path, so in the command window and in the chirp.hg folder, I have to launch CHIRP using the following command:

C:\Python27\python chirpw

I've since then created a shortcut on the desktop that launches CHIRP by setting Target equal to the following:

C:\Python27\python.exe "C:\Users\Jim\chirp.hg\chirpw"

Just installed a clean 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise machine. Installed the
following files in order:

* python-2.7.3.msi
* pygtk-all-in-one-2.24.2.win32-py2.7.msi
* libxml2-python-2.7.7.win32-py2.7.exe
* pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe
* pyserial-2.5.win32.exe

Downloaded the chirp code, and ran the installed Python on chirpw. It
started up perfectly the first time. Hopefully checking your downloads
against the list above will help identify the problem.

I'll keep this VM image around for a bit in case there are questions, but it
creeps me out having two Windows boxes (even if they're VMs) in the house :D
