PyQt4-4.8.5_py27 user install bug

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On Windows XP SP2 (both 32 and 64 bit) when installing Python 2.7.2(32bit) and 
PyQt4-4.8.5_py27 after it under user account there are folowing bugs:
1. During installation PyQt4-4.8.5_py27 installer tries to write to HKLM Path 
environment variable and fails. (user priveleges are insufficient)
2. After installation "import sip" fails with "Dll load failed:  This 
application has failed to start because the application configuration is 
incorrect...". (i think whis is because PyQt4-4.8.5_py27 installer does not 
expect that Python installer will write msvcr90.dll (and manifest) not to 
system winsxs folder, but to Python folder).

In other words PyQt4-4.8.5_py27 does not support user installation by default.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log in as user on WinXP SP2
2. Install Python 2.7.2(32bit)
3. Install PyQt4-4.8.5_py27

Guess it's about time we fixed the multi user issues.

Please check http://pythonxy.googlecode.com/files/PyQt4-4.8.6.2_py27.exe .
Notes:
- tested on WinXP SP3 32 bit as "normal user"
- Fixed uninstall to remove _all_ installed and auto generated files.
- Fixed file associations to un/register correctly.

"import sip" worked without issues for me .

PyQT4 plugin, in particular,as well as other Standard plugins 
(http://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/wiki/StandardPlugins) are not updated to  
2.7.2.1.
Please update them. Thanks.

I guess not.
At least link (http://pythonxy.googlecode.com/files/PyQt4-4.8.5_py27.exe),
timestamp and file size are the same as before.
