I think python installer may just put it in system32 if it has
permission, otherwise in its own directory. When I do a before and after
check, the date on the dll in system32 changes post python. So either
way, it seems like python does install it. It seems safe to assume it is
either in the python directory or system32. Given that, just always
adding python to your installer environment PATH should do the trick.
