Summary

0012869: FindPythonLibs.cmake fails as it searches in the wrong place

Description

When cmake searches for Python libs in Windows it searches in (from FindPythonLibs.cmake):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\${_CURRENT_VERSION}\\InstallPath]/libs

However, the information might not always reside there. The information could also reside in:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\${_CURRENT_VERSION}\\InstallPath]/libs

As it is on my machine. The difference is I suspect is that it is dependent on if a user installs Python for just himself or if Python is installed for all users on the current machine.

Steps To Reproduce

Install Python for a single user, not for all users.

Additional Information

I uploaded a patch where one can see what is needed to be added in FindPythonLibs.cmake.

Best Regards
/Christian
