New submission from mrx23dot:

setuptools Windows installer doesn't look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: only looks in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER for Python: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.7] (problem on Win7 x64 Python 2.7 installed for All users)

Also it doesn't add Python\Scripts to PATH. So cmd> installed_prg_name is not recognized

We have to add manually.
