Summary: Registry not updated by 2.4b1 installer

Initial Comment:
Running the python-2.4b1.msi installer on Win98 SE
appeared to proceeded as expected. However, the
registry appears not to have been updated and any
add-on Python library installers are still asking to be
put in my old Python 2.3 directory, effectively
preventing me from using those libraries with 2.4b, or
any scripts that rely on them.

I cannot reproduce this on XPSP2. Can you please use
regedit.exe to find out
a) whether HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python exists, and
b) if so, what its subkeys are? In particular, is anything
about 2.4 present?

If installers choose 2.3, it might be that they have
extension modules which need to be recompiled for 2.4, in
which case the installer specifically looks for a 2.3
installation, rather than the latest installation.
