Summary: setup.py fails to find most recent platform SDK

Initial Comment:
The most recent Microsoft Platform SDK installation
isn't found (as of date of submission of this bug).

The key name I have in the registry is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MicrosoftSDK\InstalledSDKs\8F9E5EF3-A9A5-491B-A889-C58EFFECE8B3\Installed
Dir

whereas setup.py is looking for it in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MicrosoftSDK\Directories\Installed
 Dir

Creating a new string value at the latter key patches
the problem.


Note:  the Platform SDK readme header says: Windows
Server 2003 SP1 SDK Release Notes

I've just sent a patch to MarkH for review for this bug. I'm
not sure why I don't see a mechanism to attach patches to
this bug... I can for bugs in the Python project here on sf.net.
