I have 64-bit Windows and Python and encountered the same problem when
installing PIL (it also comes up with other module installers), created the
registry key, set the value and after that the installer worked.
Unfortunately it seems one has to sacrifice the 64-bit libraries for this
(I'm not really into that yet).
