[Distutils] [issue158] Python not recognized in registry, PATH not modified

[mrx23dot]

New submission from mrx23dot:

setuptools Windows installer doesn't look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:
only looks in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER for Python:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.7]
(problem on Win7 x64 Python 2.7 installed for All users)

Also it doesn't add Python\Scripts to PATH.
So cmd> installed_prg_name is not recognized

We have to add manually.
