Numpy Installation: How do I fix the broken toolchain without Bash and limited permissions?

Preface: I am a Mac/Unix user and am now a little lost with Windows.

Situation: I am trying to use python on a school machine that has a 64-bit architecture and running Windows 7. I have gotten the module NetworkX to work via python setup.py install, but need the numerical libraries to be available as well.

Question: I have the identical output as this question elaborates and need to install numpy with correct dependencies. How do I do this with limited permissions?

Problems: The solution in the above link cannot be adopted in my case. I do not have Visual Studio 2008 and cannot install it due to permissions. Also, the linear algebra library that is required costs 500$, which frankly is a deal breaker. I thought I could adopt this SO solution, but I do not have access to Bash. I also cannot run .exe files due to permissions. All the modules I have installed have been using python setup.py install. Any help or suggestions are VERY much appreciated.

Could you install one of the scientific python distributions like Anaconda or Canopy? That might include everything you need. See http://scipy.org/install.html for a list of options.
