[issue14578] importlib doesn't check Windows registry for paths

I'm not sure what the deal is but I can't get the changes to apply (fitting Amaury's patch into _boostrap.py), meaning nothing I change to the _boostrap.py file changes how anything operates.

I don't have much time to learn all of this stuff and make it work on Windows like the build process does on Linux, especially not with a release waiting for it. I'd just say to run without it until someone who needs it has time to fiddle around.
