Whenever I try to install pip usin the get-pip.py script, it just gives me errors. Ran cmd as Admin, re-installed python already..
I'm using python 2.7.9
Exception:

Ok, It was indeed because of the "ä" in the name, changed the user and it installed fine, thanks to Padraic Cunningham for pointing it out.
