New submission from anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com>:

Projects that still support Python 2.4 are building distributions with either 
2.4.x or 2.5.x versions, because they afraid that newer installers won't run on 
Windows XP or Windows 2000.

Unfortunately, these installers fail to create uninstall keys with an error 
like:
Could not create
    scons-py2.6
Could not set key value
    Python 2.6 SCons - a software construction tool
Could not set key value
    ...\Python26\Removescons.exe" -u ...

This is similar to http://bugs.python.org/issue600952 that was reported for 
Python 2.1 / 2.2 long ago.
