[New-bugs-announce] [issue31077] Windows Installer Version

[Damon Atkins]

New submission from Damon Atkins:

The Windows installer for example titles the software as
Display Name:Python 3.5.3 (64-bit)
Display Version: 3.5.3150.0
The default install folder is
C:\Program Files\Python35

There is no consistency

It looks like the 3150 been shorten to 3
If you look at Python 2.7.2 it has a display version of 2.7.13150

Suggest
Display Name:Python 3.5 (64-bit)
Display Version: 3.5.3150.0
C:\Program Files\Python3.5 or C:\Program Files\Python3.5.3150
OR
Display Name:Python 3.5.3150 (64-bit)
Display Version: 3.5.3150.0
C:\Program Files\Python3.5.3150
OR
Display Name:Python 3.5.3 (64-bit)
Display Version: 3.5.3.3150
C:\Program Files\Python3.5.3

Alse seems that Python 3 installer is placing one entery in the 'Users' registry for uninstall and the rest of the entries in 'System' registry for uninstall

I suggest if the files are installed in C:\Program Files then their should be no  'User' registry entries.
