It's because the registry is different on 64 bit windows you are running into this problem. It also probably means that what you are trying to install is compiled for a 32 bit os. Chris gohlke has a 64 bit binary built. Google around and you should find his website

I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 on my ASUS G73JW, and when I try to install PIL, the wizard complains as follows: Python version 2.7 required, whih was not found in the registry. When I OK this message box, I get a blank form: Python 2.7 is required for this package.Select installation to use {Blank list] Python Directory: [Blank text] Installation Directory: [Blank text] When I run the register script from your website, it says that it cannot register, probably (it says) because Python is registered already. The registry editor shows that I have the following entries defined: Python PythonCore Help Main Python Documentation: C:\Python27\Doc\python271.chm InstallPath: C:\Python27\ InstallGroup: Python 2.7 Modules PythonPath: C:\Python27\Lib;\Python27\DLLs;C:\Python27\Lib\lib-tk All these entries have type REG_SZ. I have not played with the registry or deviated from the default installation process. I am toying with the idea of entering C:\Python27\ in the installer's text entry fields for Python directory and installation directory, but I'm wary of misfired installation procedures that might be hard to undo, so I thought I should ask first.
