Pyscopg2 binary install into windows anaconda environment

I am trying to install the psycopg2 package using the windows binary installer (for several reasons I need to use the binary installer) on a stand alone Windows 7 machine. I can successfully install the package into the root environment but cannot see it in my Anacaonda virtual environment.

Is there a way to install a binary executable package directly into a virtual environment?

Thanks

I struggled with it once (with different package, though). The best solution I found was to make symbolic link from my root site-packages to those of virtualenv:

mklink /D <path-to-virtualenv>/site-packages/psycopg2 <path-to-root-python-distribution>/site-packages/psycopg2
