Let's install something.

C:\>Python27\Scripts\pip2.7.exe install tox
Collecting tox
   Using cached tox-2.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting virtualenv>=1.11.2 (from tox)
   Using cached virtualenv-13.1.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting py>=1.4.17 (from tox)
   Using cached py-1.4.30-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting pluggy<0.4.0,>=0.3.0 (from tox)
   Using cached pluggy-0.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: virtualenv, py, pluggy, tox
Successfully installed pluggy-0.3.1 py-1.4.30 tox-2.1.1 virtualenv-13.1.2

Let's get rid of it.

C:\>Python27\Scripts\pip2.7.exe uninstall tox

A message box is displayed:-

"This app can't run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher".

Close the message box and:-

"Access is denied."

Searching hasn't thrown up a single reference to uninstall errors like 
this, any ideas?
