I just resolved it but not sure if this is the right way to go about it. Here's what I did,
In the cmd box, type regedit, and then click OK you will have the Registry editor. Right Clicked on the key name HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and searched for the wrong path name that kept showing up. In a few seconds it will take you to the location of that path in the registry. I did see two mentions of Python. Wasn't hard to figure out the wrong one(incorrect path) and deleted it without any side effects.
Immediately after this I was able to install the modules perfectly.
