If you have a python installed that has the correct modules, you could
invoke cvs2svn explicitly using your preferred Python interpreter, which
I supposed can be done with something like

    \path\to\good\python.exe cvs2svn [...]

If that doesn't work then you'll have to hope for help from somebody who
actually knows something about Windows :-)
