Hi, First of all, thanks for the feedback: too much people give up for less than that and reporting such bugs surely helps us spreading Spyder on Windows platforms.
Actually, Spyder's Windows installers are Python(x,y) plugins, as you may have noticed. As such, they are first intended to be executed on top of an existing Python(x,y) distribution, and this is AFAIK working flawlessly. Now, they are also designed to detect an existing standard Python installation, so this is clearly a bug. But I think that these installers are mostly used by either Python(x,y) users or with standard 32bits Windows / 32bits Python installations (i.e. the configuration initially used to test them, at a time when 64bits Windows were very rare). I just wanted to mention this so that you understand why such an obvious thing is not working as it should. This bug is similar to this issue: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=405 So I would ask the same question to try and debug this: what is the registry key location of your Python installation?

By opening up cmd and typing python: Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 14:24:46) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> Python 2.7 is installed. I am able to run Spyder after downloading it from the repository simply by typing python boostrap.py in explorer. I think I have the minimum dependencies with Python 2.7 and PyQt. Help please.
