How exactly are you running python.exe and IDLE- are you calling the full path, just calling "python" and using whichever python version is first on your path, or are you using an entry in the start menu? The only thing I can think of is that your 2.7.0 install is in a different location than your 2.7.2 install. So 2.7.2 installed correctly but you're still running the old one.
