Hello, When uninstalling Py352 x86 with the /uninstall option, it doesn't remove the prepended paths that were added on installation (unlike the GUI uninstall which removes them). My system is a Win7ProSP1 x64. Best regards, JM

Does it go away after restarting? It's not easy to remove a setting like that from programs that are already running. Also, can you post your log files? They'll be in %TEMP% and you can zip them up first to make it easier.

Hello, The GUI uninstall removes the prepended paths w/o requiring a reboot, so I see no reason why the /uninstall method shouldn't do it too. I did try to reboot afterwards, but the paths remain. I also tested on another PC, with Windows 8.1 x64, with the same results. What is strange is that the /uninstall method removes the .PY and .PYW from the PATHEXT env var, but keeps the prepended paths. I attached the logs as requested. All tries were made using using python-3.5.2.exe InstallAllUsers=1 CompileAll=1 InstallLauncherAllUsers=0 PrependPath=1 /passive for installation and python-3.5.2.exe /uninstall for uninstallation. Best regards, JM
