[Tutor] Python 3.5 32-bit installer not creating standard registry key

[Pete]

Sorry, I've just realised that my previous message was wrong - please
delete it. I now see that the key in question is actually a Python for
Windows Extensions key. The problem appears to lie in the Python for
Windows Extensions 32-bit installer not recognising any of the new
Python 3.5 32-bit keys. I'll have to find some way of contacting the
Python for Windows Extensions developers to ask them which key the
installer is looking for, and then try to determine why I don't have it.

Hi there,

I am looking for the best place to post a problem I'm having with Python
3.5.

The 64-bit installer works fine, creating among other 64-bit registry
keys a generic one called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\pywin32-py3.5.
Installing Python for Windows Extensions afterwards works fine as its
installer looks for this particular key on installation.

However, the 32-bit Python 3.5 installer does not create a similar
generic key in the 32-bit registry, meaning that I can't install Python
for Windows Extensions 32-bit afterwards.

This problem did not occur with Python 3.4 which correctly installed
both keys (with 3.4 in the key name instead of 3.5).

We don't seem to have that one. Are you sure you sent it
to the tutor list?

Try the Win32 mailing list/forum.

Thanks Laura.

In the end I posted the bug to Python for Windows Extensions
(http://sourceforge.net/p/pywin32/bugs/702/) because I suspect that the
fault may well lie with the PWE installer.

If I don't get any resolution there then I'll post to the Python bugs
link you kindly list. However, if you recommend that I post in both
places now then I'll do that.

I don't know what is best. I know that people with other installers
are having problems getting 3.5.0 working on their machines, but
whether their problems and your problems are related, I have no
clue.
