New submission from Hugues Valois :
When reading registry values under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\3.7 that
were written by the Windows Store app install, all file and folder paths are
incorrect.
Notice the extra [ ] as well as the missing backslash before python.exe and
pythonw.exe
Paths read from registry are:
```
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0[
]
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0python.exe[
]
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0pythonw.exe[
]
```
Paths on disk are:
```
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe
C:\Program
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\pythonw.exe
```
