New submission from Paul Moore: When I installed Python 3.4, I included the py.exe launcher. I have just installed Python 3.5a0, then uninstalled it again, and the py.exe launcher has gone.
Either the 3.5 installer should notice that py.exe is already present and remember *not* to uninstall it, or it should warn the user when installing that continuing will take ownership of the launcher from a previous installation. (I understand why having the same file owned by 2 installers causes problems, and that there's no easy fix, but the current behaviour is not at all friendly - I now have to reinstall Python 3.4 to fix it, or at least re-download the installer and try a repair, which might work I guess). ---------- assignee: steve.dower components: Installation, Windows messages: 237640 nosy: pmoore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Uninstalling Python 3.5 removes a "py.exe" that was installed with Python 3.4 versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
