Meanwhile I found out what is wrong.
The Windows installers relies on two registry entries,
but if Python is not correctly installed in the registry
it is not found.

To add these registry entries write the following code in a
file
(reg.py):
##########################################################
# these entries are necessary for the
distutils-Windows-installer
reg_data = """REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\$VERSION]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\$VERSION\InstallPath]
@="$PYTHON"
"""

import sys,string

reg_data =
string.replace(reg_data,"$VERSION",sys.version[0:3])
reg_data =
string.replace(reg_data,"$PYTHON",string.replace(sys.prefix,"\\","\\\\"))

print reg_data
##########################################################

Then call it with 'python reg.py >python.reg' and double
click
on python.reg. This will install the registry entries
necessary for
the Windows installer.
(You can also import this file with regedit or type 'start
python.reg'
at the command line.)

!!! It doesn't install all registry entries which are
usually made by
Python,
but it should be enough to get distutils windows installer
to work.

I downloaded PyOpenGL-1.5.6b1.win32-py1.5.2.exe and 
executed it on my Windows NT 4.0 machine.  When the 
installer displays the "select python installation to 
use" screen it fails to list anything and I am 
blocked, even though I have both Python 1.5.2 and 1.6 
installed, along with whatever Python comes with Zope 
2.2.  What can I do now to install PyOpenGL?
