I don't have any need to use Lilypond under Windows, but I do use a Windows
machine that has Cygwin, MiKTeX, Python and GSView installed. Here's how
regtool worked for me:

1. To find Python

$ regtool -v list \\HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App\
Paths\\Python.exe
 = "C:\Program Files\Python\Python.exe"

(for some reason the get command would not work for me to get this ...
perhaps it's my old version of regtool).

Alternatively,

$ regtool get \\HKLM\\Software\\CLASSES\\Python.file\\shell\\open\\command\\
C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe "%1" %*

2. To find GSView

$ regtool get \\HKLM\\Software\\CLASSES\\psfile\\shell\\open\\command\\
"C:\GSTOOLS\GSVIEW\gsview32.exe" "%1"

There was no registry entry for GSView on my machine under the App Paths
key.

3. To find MiKTeX

$ regtool get
\\HKLM\\Software\\MiK\\MiKTeX\\CurrentVersion\\MiKTeX\\Install\ Root
C:\texmf

The executables are under C:\texmf\miktex\bin

Hope that helps.
