I am well aware of this. In the SO question I referenced, being the
first google hit related this this... that is the answer *I* gave.
It only works, in my experience, 60% of the time, and not with two
biggie packages (pywin32, for which you have to go to third parties
to get the wheel, which do not include all of pywin32, and wxpython)
and perhaps more.<br>

I am not saying this proposal will make the registry
situation worse, but it may break my solution to the
headaches Python's registry use causes with some
non-standard module installers (and even the standard
distutils exe installers, but that is being mitigated).
In the wild exist modules with their own EXE or MSI
installers that check the registry for 'the system
python'. No matter how hard you hit them, they will only
install to *that one python*. </blockquote>

<div>If I remember correctly, you can use `wheel convert
filename.exe` on those installers which create a wheel
that you can install. I think that's what I used to do
with pywin32 before pypiwin32 came along. <br>
<br>
I just tested it and it still works on the pywin32 exe.<br>
