[issue6792] Distutils-based installer does not detect 64bit versions of Python

[dontbugme]

dontbugme <pythonbugsbugmenot at spamavert.com> added the comment:

you can add  InstallPath key with the corresponding value at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.6\]
if you want disutils installer to detect your python
That makes him detect and install the librarys or scripts to the right directory, but doens't make your library 64bit compatible if it isn't
(means if the library doesn't work on 64 bit i neither will whith this work around) Only possibility of fixing that problem is installing 32bit python
