The installer detects python using the registry entry found in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\<PYTHON_VERSION>\InstallPath

Probably the Pythonxy doesn't add this entry to the Windows registry, could 
you check it for me?

There are two solution for this problem:

- Add a better code for Python detection in the installer
- Provide a zip file with the contents of the installer and a README file 
telling you where to put each file.

I'll pick the second choice because it also solve the problem for people whom 
compiled Python by their own, besides people like you whom uses "alternative" 
Python distributions.

Other suggestions or patches for the installer are welcome. =]
