Thanks for the follow up. I had included the hive in one of my many variations in trying to get it to work (it defaults to "LocalMachine" according to the docs, so I assumed that I wouldn't need to set it explicitly).
According to regedit, the path is correct: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath. I've now tested this on two 64bit machines and both fail with the same error. I also tried it with a nightly build and the error message was a little different: Registry Path Not Found! - key='SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath\';hive='Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive[]'; This message concerns me a bit.. Do I somehow explicitly have to set the hive to be 64bit?
