Downloaded pyodbc-3.0.6.win-amd64-py2.7 for a 64-bit Win7 system with Python 2.7.3: Launch installation, and after first screen receive: "Python version 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry" Which key is it looking for - thinking I may have missed a part of the Python install (though not sure what)

I believe the problem is actually that your Python is 32-bit. Even on 64-bit Windows, you can run 32-bit Python or 64-bit Python. Most people still run 32-bit since it is faster.
Here's how to test and what I get on my 64-bit Windows 7 test box:
>>> import platform
>>> print platform.architecture()
('32bit', 'WindowsPE')
If yours is the same, please download the win32 version:

I'll put this issue on hold until I hear back. Thanks.

I have the same issue with windows 8.. The command return
>>> import platform
# C:\Python27\lib\encodings\cp437.pyc matches C:\Python27\lib\encodings\c
import encodings.cp437 # precompiled from C:\Python27\lib\encodings\cp437
import platform # from C:\Python27\lib\platform.py
# wrote C:\Python27\lib\platform.pyc
# C:\Python27\lib\string.pyc matches C:\Python27\lib\string.py
import string # precompiled from C:\Python27\lib\string.pyc
import strop # builtin
>>> print platform.architecture()
# C:\Python27\lib\struct.pyc matches C:\Python27\lib\struct.py
import struct # precompiled from C:\Python27\lib\struct.pyc
import _struct # builtin
('64bit', 'WindowsPE')

I am trying to install it on Windows 8 x64, and i get ('32bit', 'WindowsPE') but yet any of the recent.exe works, it won't let me change any path.
