[issue1543] MSI installer needs to be updated to install x86 and x64 versions of Python on Vista 64 bit

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

It's not so clear that this is a bug. If you install both versions
simultaneously, they might stomp on each other's registry settings, at
least for the extensions. So this is rather a feature request.

Notice that the behaviour is not new to Vista. Ever since the early days
of MSI, two simultaneous installations of the same product were not
supported, and ever since Python started using MSI, it uses one product
ID per feature release.

In any case, this was fixed in r59112.
