Reported by Python...@gmail.com, Sep 28, 2012
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)

This may be connected to issue 276.

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:

https://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/downloads/detail?name=pyodbc-3.0.5.win32-py2.7.exe

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.

mkleehammer's solution worked for me.
