I cannot answer the Python Question although I had some similar problems
when trying out the 'bleeding edge' version of Frescobaldi that requires
Python27 and LP 2.14.1 which IIRC has Python 22..which may or may not be a
problem. But after installing Python27 I couldn't get the Windows OS to
'see' the correct python version (it was still seeing the older version) no
matter what I did with PATH. But anyway..

Can you be more specific which registry entries?

LilyPond really isn't that 'deep' into the Windows OS so I expect that you
are seeing things in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ after you have
uninstalled right or is it elsewhere?
