I assume that you built without the patch applied. Does it also work with the patch ? This is the relevant section from the KB article: """ When you install a new program or when you run a program on a Windows x64 Edition computer, registry calls made by 64-bit programs access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software registry sub key without redirection. WOW64 intercepts registry calls to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software that are made by 32-bit programs, and then redirects them to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432node sub key. """ Since VS2008 is a 32-bit application, the registry keys are written to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432node branch. 64-bit applications such as Python AMD64 don't see this indirection, so they have to explicitly look in that branch to find VS2008 settings. I checked the registry on the machine and indeed the VS2008 keys are only available under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432node branch. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
