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

Is this combination supported? I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 on my ASUS G73JW,

get a blank form: Python 2.7 is required for this package.Select installation

[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

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. TIA
