perhaps we could remember the last non-launcher association when we install the launcher, It might be better to look in the registry for other Python installations and ask the user which one to restore if there is more than one. Trying to restore the "last" one would be prone to breakage if the user didn't uninstall versions in precisely the reverse of the order of installation.

While that makes alot of sense, the fact we are already "broken" in exactly the same way means I hope we can treat the restoration of associations as a separate issue - a worthwhile one, but not a pre-requisite for this PEP being approved.

Cheers,
