[issue28902] 3.6.0rc1 installer fails to install / uninstall.

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

If you run the installer through the Programs and Features dialog to modify or uninstall it should definitely find the current installation (as the registration it looks for is the same registration that makes it appear in that dialog). Because there are different installers, unfortunately they can't always detect each other despite laying down the same version of Python. I too would like them to get better at this, but it's not at all simple.

We can't go wiping install information arbitrarily or it will corrupt user machines.

For the missing file error, you should have a whole lot of log files in your %TEMP% directory. Could you zip them up and attach them here so I can take a look at what went wrong?
