Python 2.x and up to 3.4 did not contain the "-32" in their registry name, so the 32 and 64-bit installs were treated equal. Since 3.5/PEP 514 this is no longer true, but we still want to detect the EOL versions correctly in case people are still using them.
Additionally, the code to replace a node with one with a lower sort key was buggy (wrong node chosen, replace never happened since parent was always NULL, replaced node never freed, etc)
(cherry picked from commit daec3a4)
