windows install put short path names to win register

Windows python 2.2.1 installation program puts short file names to
some path values in windows register.

This makes that programs that read python path or some other
information as python path from windows register crash
-i'm using NTFS (maybe with FAT32, due that FAT system works with
short file names and long file names, works, but as NTFS only works
with long file names, some other installation programs just crash)-.
Examples: try to install mysqldb (mysql connection) or py2exe on
windows with a NTFS disk, and these programs crash.

I'm wrong?
