I must be missing something obvious in installing Python 3.4.2...

Not sure that would be a good idea: There are 22 such keys, as opposed to only two keys with Windows ID strings that don't end in nulls. I found this article:

with the comment "If you are happy to completely remove any problematic keys, and accept any associated breakages that may occur, then this is the easiest solution."

I am concerned that if I change these keys, something else might break and I have no easy way of figuring out what.
