Research direction

Start by locating the vfox-python entry point that handles installation or version registration, then inspect how platform-specific configuration is managed. Done means an installed Python version is registered at the specified HKEY_CURRENT_USER path and is recognized by Python Launcher (py.exe).

Description

Hi, please would it be possible to register installed versions of Python so that they are recognized by Python Launcher (py.exe).

Basically adding installation path to windows registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore\<MAJOR.MINOR>\InstallPath should do it.
