I would recommend EasyInstall, a package management application for Python.

Once you've installed EasyInstall, you should be able to go to a command window and type:

easy_install simplejson

This may require putting easy_install.exe on your PATH first, I don't remember if the EasyInstall setup does this for you (something like C:\Python25\Scripts).
