This is almost working. As of 0.6c11 on Windows 7 64 bit the
setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.6.exe installer fails reporting it can't find the
location of python in the registry. (Python is python-2.6.4.amd64.msi)

It seems to be looking for it in:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath]
@="C:\\Python26\\"

.. rather than the:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath]
@="C:\\Python26\\"

.. that the python installer puts in the registry.

See the following for more information:

Adding the attached python-fix.reg to the registry before running the setuptools
installer works around the problem.
