Or an MSI installer may be able to offer a "repair" feature without too much pain.
A few more observations to do with installation:
- It's been mentioned that a standalone version should be available for use with earlier Python versions. This could be done with a merge module which can be used either with a standalone installer or the Python .msi.
- For the standalone MSI, we will most likely need separate 32-bit and 64-bit MSIs, because the MSI system will look at the MSI type to determine whether registry stuff goes in the main registry or the Wow6432Node used for 32-bit applications.
