Look here:

 http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/InstallVTKPythonOnWin32

Look at the lower half of the instructions.  Basically, go here:

 http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/dwnld/vtk/win32/

Follow the instructions for the VTK-4.4 dlls here:

 http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/dwnld/vtk/win32/readme.txt

You should be set.

If you need to ever do a fresh Python install with a whole bunch of
scientific python tools get this:
