Hi Rune,

I had a similar issue on Windows Server 2008 R2. You are probably running Win 7 (64bit). I ran procmon, and found out that the installer is looking for the keys under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore

so I modified the register.py discussed above to write to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which solved the issue.

Sounds like maybe there's a problem with either the distutils or the Windows Python installer, since either the bdist_wininst isn't checking in the right place, or the Windows Python installer isn't registering in the right place. (i.e., this would be an issue with *any* Python .exe-based installer on these platforms.)
