Tried downloading the "Python 2.6 Windows Installer" for Windows Vista
64bit and when I tried installing it, it simply made my Windows
Installer stop working. I've tried "Just for me" and the "For everyone"
options and it still crashes.
I'm wondering, is it the "Python 2.6 Windows AMD64 Installer" I'm
supposed to use even if I've got an Intel chip in my computer?

Yes, just as one uses the x86 installer for 32-bit amd chips, like mine ;-)
