Bug Description
On the windows installer the question about modifying the python registry entry to point to panda isn't very clear. It should also default to use an existing python installation so that pressing "yes" will not change the registry entry. If using a current install the panda installer should also create a panda.pth file in the python site-packages pointing to the panda installation.

New message is:
"Your system already has a copy of Python installed. Panda3D installs its own copy of Python, which will install alongside your existing copy. Would you like to make Panda's copy the default Python? If you choose 'No', you will have to configure your existing copy of Python to use the Panda3D libraries."
