Installer wizard can't see my Python installation

And freezes there. None of the fields are filled in to pick an installation.

c:\python34 is on the path.

Is there a way to tweak the installer so that the "not found in the registry" allows some input?

Seems like this is a problem with either your setup or distutils. Can you please try installing some other module which has an installer built with distutils, and see whether this problem still appears?

"some other module"? Any suggestions as to which would provide a good test case?

Try this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20219/

Same response. The Python 3.4 is not being detected.

It is present:

C:\Users\pha212>c:\python34\python
Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:43:06) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

[It's not on my path because I'm using Python3.3 for the time being.]

The installer isn't seeing it.

Then this is a problem either with distutils or with your setup. I suggest either asking for help from distutil guys and/or completely re-installing all your python installs (starting from fresh windows install will be even better).
