[New-bugs-announce] [issue36649] Windows Store app install registry keys have incorrect paths

[Hugues Valois]

New submission from Hugues Valois <hugues.valois at gmail.com>:

When reading registry values under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\3.7 that were written by the Windows Store app install, all file and folder paths are incorrect.

Notice the extra [ ] as well as the missing backslash before python.exe and pythonw.exe

Paths read from registry are:
```
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0[                    ]

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0python.exe[                    ]

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0pythonw.exe[                    ]

```

Paths on disk are:
```
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\pythonw.exe
```
