I am trying to install PIL.

I have Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit 
(AMD64)] on win32 installed in directory C:/Python27.

I downloaded and ran *Python Imaging Library 1.1.7 for Python 2.7 
(Windows only)* but it reported that Python 2.7 was not found in the 
registry.

I then attempted to add Python to the registry by running the code given 
at http://effbot.org/zone/python-register.htm. It then gave me an I/O 
warning suggesting I add  # -*- coding: cp1252 -*- to the file.  I 
selected the "Edit my File" button and it added that line at the top of 
my code.  I then ran the code again and got the following:
 >>>
*** Unable to register!
*** You probably have another Python installation!
 >>>

I haven't a clue about what to try next.  Is it that I am running 64 bit 
Windows?
