      When reading registry values under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\3.7 that were written by the Windows Store app install, all file and folder paths are incorrect.

      Notice the extra [ ] as well as the missing backslash before python.exe and pythonw.exe

      Paths read from registry are:

      C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0[                    ]

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0python.exe[                    ]

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0pythonw.exe[                    ]

      Paths on disk are:

      C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\pythonw.exe

      Can you get me the *exact* Windows version number you're using?

      I added those to work around a bug where keys were being incorrectly trimmed, and that format seemed to evaluate to nothing correctly, but perhaps that bug has been fixed in the OS?

      Great, thanks.

      I have a fix in PR, but I'm going to do a "real" build to check. My machine is running a beta build, unfortunately, so I can't validate it against the older version. Might ping you for some help with that.
