Install PIL on Windows 7 64-bit PC

Question

Python by itself works fine, but when I try to add PIL to it, the installation gives an error message:

python version 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry

What can I do?

This problem had already seen before, it is true that python and windows registry has become problematic for this library, you create a new own registry on the following address HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath and then copy and paste there the value that is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath

I'm don't sure, however I haven't seen that someone reported it, so if you've already tried, will be great that you add that detail for here, thanks – geoom Dec 26 '13 at 18:51
