biggles on windows

[Kyle Yancey]

The Windows installer could be designed for activestates python.  If
you're not running the activestate version, then you don't have the
registry settings.  That happens some times.  Here's what I have in my
registry.

Create the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState\ActivePython

Create a string called CurrentVersion here.
Then set it to whatever your version number is.  Mine is set to 222.

Now create a corresponding key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ActiveState\ActivePython\222

Set the (Default) string to whatever your install directory is.  Mine
is C:\Python22\

Now try installing again.
