Just one remark (I don't follow all the python stuff ;)):

The program files directory is usually localized so %PROGRAMFILES% should be
used and the drive letter isn't necessarily C.

Windows 7 might actually be different - perhaps they now even now use symlinks
to point a localized path to a hidden "Program Files".
