Cannot install PyYAML on WIndows 7 64 bit

[Alex]

I have Python 2.6 on my Windows 7 PC and just downloaded the nltk. I need to install PyYAML but I get an error: "Python version 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry" Any guidance is appreciated

Actually, I found the solution on  http://valgogtech.blogspot.com/2010/01/after-installing-64-bit-windows-7-at.html.

I've got the same problem on my Windows 7 PC.

Is there anyway that I can install PyYAML?

I also have this problem.

The solution listed above is a workaround, not a fix. (It involves implementing a deprecated python registration method, and it may not be obvious from the link how to apply this, or what the effects might be.)

Replying to thomas.brownback@…:

Note: I have this issue for Python 3.2.

use "run as administrator" on installer exe - worked when was crashing before - nltk still seems broken however
