>From what I can tell, that is solely for file associations. If so, it
will work if you type "setup.py install" but not if you type "python
setup.py install". For instance, I have an entry for Firefox in that
part of the registry, but if you try executing "firefox" at the command
line, it fails.

Typing "start firefox" at the command line should work.
It appears that cmd.exe does *not* use ShellExecute to find the executable, so this approach doesn't work as expected :(
