I met the similar problem under Windows 7 when installing mysql-connector-python-1.0.7-py2.7.msi and mysql-connector-python-1.0.7-py3.2.msi.

After changing from "Install only for yourself" to "Install for all users" when installing Python for windows, the "python 3.2 not found" problem disappear and mysql-connector-python-1.0.7-py3.2.msi was successfully installed.

I guess the problem is that mysql connector installer only looks for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entries, and the things it looks for might be under HKEY_CURRENT_USER etc. So the solution that change the reg table directly also works.
