This should mean that only the steps:

 * "Edit the existing System environment variable Path and add a new
   System environment variable PYTHONPATH pointing to the relevant Ice
   installation location:"

 * "Restart your computer. For environment changes to take effect in
   background services, a restart is unfortunately necessary. See
   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821761 for more information."q

under "Update your Windows environment variables: (REQUIRES RESTART!)"
went wrong. Could you send us the output of:

 C:\>  echo %PYTHONPATH%

from a console? If that contains "C:\Ice-3.3.1\python" then one
possibility is that PYTHONPATH is set as a user environment setting
rather than a system one.

Hope that helps.
