Any chance of this being made optional when installing? It provides no benefit for people who prefer to associate scripts with an editor and may be a source of confusion/complaints.
Env var changes typically require a reboot to take full effect, which I've also seen cause confusion. Also, it should include .pyw, .pyz and whatever was decided instead of .pywz (.pwz, I think?).

I could write the patch, but will likely forget - so please remind me with every alpha that misses this. Also, contributions are welcome. Thanks. I think I have the basic idea of what's needed, so I'll write an initial patch. If you can check it that'd be great. OK, see http://bugs.python.org/issue18569 As I mention in the patch, I have yet to successfully manage to build an MSI installer (I tried a while ago, and the instructions didn't work - I'm not 100% sure why and I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to try again) so the patch will definitely need checking by someone who can build the MSI. When I get some time (probably not for a few weeks) I'll try the "how to build the installer" instructions again and see if I can work out what went wrong and either fix the issue or report back.
