Here is a list of py.exe references in my registry: HCR\Python.CompiledFile HCR\Python.File HCR\Python.NoConFile [snip]

There shouldn't be so many references, so I suggest you may want to try the following (after backing up your registry first):

Uninstall all instances of the launcher.
Remove all registry keys for .py, .pyc, .pyo, .pyw, Python.File, Python.NoConFile, and Python.CompiledFile.
Re-install the launcher (64-bit) using "msiexec /i launchsys.amd64.msi ALLUSERS=1" (or launcher.amd64.msi if you prefer - the only difference is the installation directory).
Check that the removed associations have appeared under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and that they all point to the launcher installed in the previous step. These may also appear in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT if it is aliased to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes tree.
