2c. There's a question over a GUI install followed by a pysetup uninstall, which wouldn't remove the add/remove entry... I think we could require that a project installed with a clicky wininstbdist has to be removed via the Add/Remove GUI. (There is support for that in PEP 376: the INSTALLER file.)

In case this wasn’t very clear: PEP 376 defines that the name of the installer be recorded in a file in the dist-info dir, and when another installer tries to remove the distribution it will be blocked. So if INSTALLER contains “wininst”, then “pysetup remove” won’t work, so we won’t get imperfect uninstalls.

Cheers
