When I read this comment of yours, Guido, I immediately started wondering about this. You may well be right -- indeed, I have a very old install (c.2007) which has not been updated (other than one or three new MS "drivers").

Perhaps the Python 3.4.0b2 MSI installer uses a new capability, which, as you say, causes the installer to at least attempt to upgrade...?

I believe the pip bootstrapping involves an MSI feature we haven't previously used (MvL would be able to confirm). If so, then MSI may be looking for a new version to interpret that new setting.

Cheers, Nick.
