| The uninstaller program of the Python interpreter lacks an icon. This looks ackward in the Add/Remove Programs list on the Windows platform. Please add an icon for the uninstaller. |

| As far as I know, the uninstaller has never had an icon, but it certainly needs one. The upcoming versions of Python could be equipped with a neat little icon. Are you willing to implement it? That would be very nice. |

| I can't quite reproduce the problem. Both on "Uninstall Python" in the start menu, and in "Add and remove programs", Windows displays an icon, showing a computer and a cdrom, atleast on Windows XP. So where are you missing the icon? |

| Oh, I guess I should have been more informative, sorry. My OS is Windows Vista Business (64 bit) onto which I have installed the 32 bit interpreter. And now when this 32 bit interpreter is installed on my 64 bit OS platform, I don't see the two-snakes-kind-of-like icon in the Add/Remove Programs list; instead I see the default icon -- you know, that squared box. The files python.exe and pythonw.exe both have that two-snakes-kind-of-like icon, and even pressing Alt+Tab (when the interpreter is running) displays the two-snakes-kind-of-like icon, but this two-snakes-kind-of-like icon is not displayed in the Add/Remove Programs list. So I find that a strange thing to be. Anyway, this is a bug so I reported it. I really don't know why this bug exists. This could be because of a 64 bit OS and a 32 bit interpreter mix issue, but I doubt it. This is probably an easy fix for you guys. I keep my fingers crossed for this bug to be fixed. Oh, and I can make screenshots if you like. |

| Would be nice if the same icon could also be the default for bdist_msi. "Retro" could you point us to some documentation on how to fix this ? |

| Thanks again for the report. This is now fixed in r67449, r67450, r67451. Marc-Andre, if you want request a change to bdist_msi, please submit a separate report. I'm skeptical though that bdist_msi packages should use the Python icon in ARP. |
