Perhaps I wasn't clear: The VS2008 installer as well as the most of VS tool chain appear to be 32-bit binaries and thus writes its keys and values into Software\Wow6432Node\Windows\. If you then run a 64-bit Python binary, it won't find the keys under the regular Software\Windows\ reg path. BTW: This was a fresh Vista and VS2008 installation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8854> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
