Received via email: PEP-397 (PEP 397 -- Python launcher for Windows) says: """ The launcher installation is registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs with a reference counter. """ There is no such entry. It should be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs

I'd rather not document this anyway, and I'm not sure it's true right now. Since 3.5, there is one MSI for the launcher that will be used into the future and handle the reference counting, so this note is irrelevant and solely of historical interest.
