[New-bugs-announce] [issue16727] Windows installers for 2.7.3 don't install python27.dll correctly

[Keith Sabine]

New submission from Keith Sabine:

The windows installers for Python 2.7.3 do not install the required python27.dll correctly.

The Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7.3) does not install a 32 bit python27.dll in windows\system32 at all.

The Windows x86-64 MSI Installer (2.7.3) installs a 64 bit python27.dll in windows\system32, NOT in windows\SysWOW64 as it should.

The python27.dll should be kept in the python DLLs directory for both 32 and 64 bit versions, so users can clean up the mess if they need to...
