[issue13931] os.path.exists inconsistent between 32 bit and 64 bit

[zxw]

New submission from zxw <eeyore.tkc at gmail.com>:

When I run the following line while the 32 bit version of python is installed it returns false, however with the 64 bit version it correctly returns true.
os.path.exists('C:\\Windows\\System32\\msg.exe')

I'm using Python 2.7.2 with Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
