As others have remarked you need to install VTK.  Some step by step 
instructions for this on the web are here:

http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/installation.html#step-by-step-instructions-to-install-with-eggs-under-windows

That should help.  I would recommend either Pythonxy or EPD though since 
it is so much easier to use and works.

In addition I would recommend that you use mayavi2-3.x instead of the 
old 1.5 version.  I can safely say that Mayavi2 is far superior in many 
respects.
