kat,
after completing a full uninstall, The Blender 2.42 installer 'Choose Install Location' page will by default create the destination folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Blender Foundation\Blender"
on the 'Specify User Data Location' page, the second option: "Use Installation Directory (ie. location chosen to install blender.exe)" by default is selected.
installing this way has set up the scripts folder inside the installed directory, But Python is now giving me this slightly different error message.
Compiled with Python version 2.4.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
