Answer 1

You could try it with pip. (Here a question/answer about installing it)

Then type in your shell:

pip install pyserial

Solution:
The installation of pip on Windows 7 64 is a little tricky: I added my Python and Python/Scripts path to the PATH env.
Then I opened PythonWin as Administrator, ran ez_setup.py from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads with PythonWin. And then I downloaded pip unpacked it and as Administrator I ran python setup.py install on the windows shell and after that pip install pyserial.
