[Twisted-Python] 1.0.7 Windows installer bug?

[Cory Dodt]

"ACK" is the emergency value I inserted in case it can't find the 
following registry key:

HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.3\InstallPath\<default>

Please open an issue in the tracker for this: 
http://twistedmatrix.com/bugs .  If you can describe there how you 
installed Python that might give me a hint for solving it.  I haven't 
been able to reproduce this bug on any of my systems but you're the 
second person who has reported it.

As a temporary measure, installing Twisted without the Windows installer 
isn't terrible; get the source and follow the instructions here:
