title: "Python version 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry" error when attempting to install netCDF4 on Windows 8
body: <p>I use Anaconda 1.7, 32 bit. I downloaded the correct version of the netCDF4 installer from <a href="https://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/downloads/list" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I attempted to copy the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python folder into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. No luck.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Anaconda installed in the default location, C:/.</p>
  
  <p>Yes, I know Anaconda has netCDF4 in the packages list - but if you look closely, it's only offered for Mac and Linux.</p>
