Did you have a look to the information in www.pygtk.org?

There you have some information on how to get pygtk running on windows.

What you basically need is:
- install python from www.python.org
- install the gtk+ runtime from a bundle file (it already includes its 
dependencies) from the ftp.gnome.org server
- install the pygobject and pygtk bindings, using the installers that 
you can get from the ftp.gnome.org server too (You can also install 
pycairo if you need it).

You have precompiled bundles or installers for all of this and you can 
find where to get them in the www.pygtk.org website.

One important step that may lead problems with 'not found libraries' 
like what you describe is that the bin (and lib) folders of the gtk+ 
runtime need to be added to the system path.

I hope this helps you to get it going,
