well python on installation on win64 adds the following registry keys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\Help]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\Help\Main Python Documentation]
@="C:\\Python27\\Doc\\python27.chm"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath]
@="C:\\Python27\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath\InstallGroup]
@="Python 2.7"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\Modules]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\PythonPath]
@="C:\\Python27\\Lib;C:\\Python27\\DLLs;C:\\Python27\\Lib\\lib-tk"



but to be found by the programs searching for it it should be:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\Help]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\Help\Main Python Documentation]
@="C:\\Python27\\Doc\\python27.chm"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath]
@="C:\\Python27\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath\InstallGroup]
@="Python 2.7"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\Modules]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\PythonPath]
@="C:\\Python27\\Lib;C:\\Python27\\DLLs;C:\\Python27\\Lib\\lib-tk"



this would fix the installer of the setuptools
thanks
