I have installed 2.6.2 source(32bit) on Vista 64 bit. 
The function RegOpenKeyEx fails with returns "2". 
If I change the function to  
		rc=RegOpenKeyEx(keyBase,
			keyBuf, /* subkey */
			0, /* reserved */
			KEY_READ | KEY_WOW64_64KEY,
			&newKey);
it works fine. I have checked this in the debug build with my 32 bit 
C++ application. UAC is not enabled on my machine.
I hope the issue is fixed with the next version of python.

Regards
Manfred

I don't understand what "2.6.2 source(32bit)" is.
Did you install a binary distribution (.msi), or did you compile the 
source files?

Closing because of lack of feedback.
