Visual Studio Python Environment missing in IronPython 2.7.8 but works in 2.7.7

[GLantaff]

If I install IP 2.7.7, I can create IronPython projects and VS will find the "IronPython 2.7 (32-bit)" Python Environment.
If I then uninstall 2.7.7 and install 2.7.8, The IronPython Environments are gone.

Any thoughts?

They changed the location from Program Files (x86) to Program Files, and the registry key from Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\IronPython\2.7\InstallPath to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IronPython\2.7\InstallPath.

Workaround: Using regedit.exe, add a copy of the IronPython\2.7\InstallPath under WOW6432Node. I checked that it was detected and I was able to run a couple of IronPython projects after that.

Note to whoever wants to fix this: Look in Python\Product\IronPythonResolver\resolver.cs, GetPythonInstallDir needs to check for 32-bit and 64-bit registry views.
