I think your suspicions are correct - the 32-bit PythonCard installer 
must be looking in the wrong place 
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node ?). I don't know what registry 
entries it's looking for - I don't think the installer source is available.

Maybe you can download the non-EXE zip file, and run python setup.py? 
This should make sure all of the installation is 64-bit (there is a 
reference to RemovePythonCard.exe in install-pythoncard.py, which might 
mean some 32-bit stuff if you ever want to uninstall).
