[issue36804] Python for Windows installer Repair option does not repair PIP

[Mark Green]

New submission from Mark Green <drmoose94 at gmail.com>:

After installing Python for Windows using the standard installer, run "pip install --upgrade pip", which will damage pip as a result of running through pip.exe rather than python.exe. Both pip and python -m pip will now fail.

Rerunning the Python Installer and choosing the Repair option will list PIP as a component, but will not repair it. Using the Modify option will state that PIP is already installed and will thus do nothing if told to install it. The only option is to uninstall and reinstall again.
