Fixing
this required manually cleaning up leftover CPython 3.4.0rc3 windows
installer registry entries. Note that the issue could not be fixed by
using the CPython 3.4.0rc3 installer as it failed due to the same problem.
Did you try the 3.4.0rc3 "repair" installation? That should have
undeleted (repaired) the files that you had manually deleted.
I tried different things back then, and I'm 90% sure I tried that one
as well. Unfortunately, my brain is already trying to block out that
painful afternoon so I can't tell you for certain. :-)
But, all kidding aside, I'll try to reproduce the issue again and let
you know the exact details.
Should I open a 'Add/Remove Programs' dialog related issue in the
CPython issue tracker?
Please do. It would also good if somebody volunteered to reproduce
the issue.
Will do.
FYI, I did reproduce the 'Add/Remove Programs' dialog issue on
another PC in the mean time. Also Windows 7 x64 though. Unfortunately, I
don't have other 64-bit OSs readily available at the moment.
And possibly a separate one for making CPython
installations not fail without possible recovery if a previous CPython
installation has already been removed?
Please don't. Or, at least, make it more specific. If you have manually
corrupted your Python installation (by deleting essential files), you
have to accept that the system installation procedures will fail.
It might be possible to recover from the loss of a specific such file;
for that, we would have to identify what the file is. However, the
standard procedure should be to repair the installation before
attempting an upgrade.
Ok, as I stated above, I'll get back to you on this once I reproduce
the 'corruption' issue again.
Oh, and many thanks for replying! :-)
Best regards,
Jurko Gospodnetić
