If you have Python 3.11 installed by the EXE installer, and then build from source and run it from the build directory, it will detect and use the installed stdlib rather than its own.

I believe this is a regression since 3.11.1, so it hasn't shipped yet. But since it only matters in a build directory, that doesn't really matter anyway.

Correction, it's not a build directory, it's a normal layout. So if we've already located the stdlib, we shouldn't be adding the root path in the registry.
