Actually, it's not so strange, as those are intended for the
user to set in special cases. Normally, the Windows installer
just puts the right entries in the registry (check under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Python if you know how to do
that).
I believe you must have had a previous installation, which
is messing up your new installation. Try uninstalling all
Python stuff, make sure you have no old Python directories
in your PATH, or any PYTHONPATH setting in AUTOEXEC.BAT,
then try reinstalling.
