Manfred Bartz added the comment:
I uninstalled python and then re-installed it using the same procedure which
caused the original problem.
This time the install succeeded without any problems.
The only explanation I can think of is that either the temporary 32-bit install
or the command
Manfred Bartz added the comment:
I ran the install from the command line with:
msiexec /i python-2.7.amd64.msi /l*v python.log
compresed log attached.
The install completed without error dialogs and a superficial test suggests
that I have a working python-2.7-64 installation
Manfred Bartz added the comment:
since the error msg suggests that the installer detected a 32 bit system, I
attached a partial screen cap of system properties -- it really is a Win7-64
system, Enterprise edition.

New submission from Manfred Bartz :
python-2.7.amd64.msi as well as python-2.6.6.amd64.msi fail to install on a
Windows7-64 system. In both cases with: "An error occurred during the
installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.CRT,version=9.0.21022.8 ...'"
