To detangle the various aspects here:
* It's hard to know which installer to use and bzr-gtk doesn't work with the recommended one: I split this to bug 388790.
* There are no python2.6-based installers. There should be. I don't know if there is a problem in building them there. I'm going to say that's the kernel of this particular bug report.
* You cannot use the python-based installer with a 64-bit python. I think this is the same as bug 331342. I believe it's a technology limitation that we can't ship extensions which will work with both 64-bit and 32-bit Python builds. At present we only ship for 32-bit Python, and you can install 32-bit python on a 64-bit Windows, as you did. It would be nice to accommodate 64-bit python by either shipping a separate package or one package built for both.
