That would be a bug then. Please create a bugzilla entry against Tomcat 7 for this. The installer should check 64-bit and then 32-bit registry locations when running on 64-bit Windows. Bugs with patches attached tend to get fixed faster. If you would like to work on a patch and need any pointers then just ask here.
