There is also this wiki article:

https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/wiki/Notes-on-Windows-installation

This "lc at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/utf8_heavy.pl line 123" problem is not 
mentioned on that wiki, but should be if this is a common problem.  I've 
added a quick link but it would be great if someone who can reproduce 
this can comment...

I noticed that the bug report that Mike linked suggests using the 
symbolic-win-py-bundle-2.x.y.zip package avoids this issue.

cheers,
