To add to the msg I just sent to M. Torrie. We are given the msi
programs for Python, PIL,matplotlib, and numpy. The question of how to
uninstall and re-install a different version remains.

I'd claim that this is not the real question. The real question is,
instead: "What specific error did you get when adding a single minus
sign to the program?"

Please try answering that question also.

The answer is?

I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "given"?
Perhaps "already downloaded locally"?

If so, the obvious answer is "Go to Add-Remove-Programs. Uninstall.
Then double-click the MSI files." If that is not a good answer:
why not?

If you want that automated: write a batch file, invoking "msiexec"
as necessary.

Given. We either download them from various specified sites or newbies get a CD when they receive hardware that is used by the sponsor's programs.

Add-Remove would be a very good answer, except for one thing. Understand that I'm in Win7 so CP takes on a different form. On Control Panel Add-Remove, I can find exactly two Python files: Python 2.5, and python-Numpy-1.2.0. No scipy anything. Well, this is interesting. I just noticed Martin v. Loewis on the Python 2.5 entry. That's you, right?

msiexec. Don't need it automated now, but it might be worthwhile, at some future point.

I think I posted the errors my partner got above. Let me look. Yes, here's the copy.
He gets
