The new installer for 3.5 doesn't create an "App Paths" key for
"python.exe" like the old installer used to do (see the old
Tools/msi/msi.py). Without that, unless python.exe is in the search
PATH, "Win+R -> python" and running "start python" in the command
prompt won't work. You can of course add the key manually as the
default value for
"[HKLM|HKCU]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\python.exe". IMO, this makes it the 'system' Python.
