Comment:

 You need the 32 bit version of Python 2.6 in order to use the
 numpy-1.4.1-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe installer. Your Python is a 64
 bit version, which can not load any extensions built specifically for 32
 bit Python. Usually it is not possible to install win32 extensions on
 amd64 Python, unless one manually copies files or patches the Windows
 registry.
