Bug Description

I think it's sourceforge.net's recentish redesign that is causing this to appear.

This may be Windows specific and is best demonstrated with markdown.

This will work:
easy_install markdown==2.0.3

But installing it with buildout will not and results in the following:

error: Couldn't find a setup script in c:\users\kylemac.buildout\dlcache\dist\download
An error occured when trying to install Markdown 2.0.3.
Look above this message for any errors thatwere output by easy_install. While: Installing omelette.
Getting distribution for 'markdown==2.0.3'. Error: Couldn't install: Markdown 2.0.3

"c:\users\kylemac.buildout\dlcache\dist\download" is actually Markdown-2.0.3.win32.exe. I believe it saved itself as "download" due to the URLs at http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-markdown/files/ when it should probably get the filename from the Content-Disposition header instead.

Bonus bug: type in the error message, i.e. "thatwere".

I can confirm that this does seem to be Windows-specific; builds involving your example of Markdown do work fine on Linux but not on Windows.

this is still happening. Is anything being done to resolve it? It happens on Vista and Windows 7.
