64-bit Win7 how to install PiL

Python has 64-bit, PIL official only 32.

Installation will be prompted to find the installation path for Python.

Why the PIL library cannot be installed under 64-bit Win7

The PIL binary installation library provided by PIL official http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/is 32-bit.

The location of the 64-bit program and the 32-bit program to detect the registry is not the same:

64-bit:hkey_local_machinesoftwarepython

32-bit:hkey_local_machinesoftwarewow6432nodepython

I installed the Python2.7 x64 version, so the relevant information is under Hkey_local_machinesoftwarepython, 32-bit programs in Hkey_local_ Machinesoftwarewow6432nodepython below to find the Python installation information, must not be found.

Solve:

Fortunately, someone has provided an unofficial 64-bit library (official source code compiled version).
