Summary: Windows installer start menu registry

Initial Comment:
The new installer for Windows Python 2.2b1 enters a 
long string into the InstallGroup portion of the 
registry:

"C:\WINDOWS\StartMenu\Programs\Python 2.2"

Previous Windows installers entered a short string:

"Python 2.1"

I believe the long string is incorrect and the short 
string correct. For example, when I try to use the 
freeware installer InnoSetup (plus extensions) to 
create an installer for VPython, an incorrect start 
menu address is generated when I attempt to install a 
on the start menu a pointer to the idlefork version of 
IDLE. This worked fine in the past, with the short 
form registry item.
