[issue29443] Re-running Windows installer should have option to set PATH

[Dave Brondsema]

New submission from Dave Brondsema:

If you miss the checkbox to set the "PATH" when installing Python for the first 
time, there isn't any easy way to set it again.  (And for new programmers, 
having it set automatically is extremely useful).  Uninstalling and 
re-installing does work to get PATH set, but that isn't ideal.

When you re-run the installer it does offer "Modify" and "Repair" options, but 
neither of those let you set the PATH.  It would be nice if "Modify" did offer 
that option.

[issue29443] Re-running Windows installer should have option to set PATH

Dave Brondsema added the comment:

A colleague has pointed out to me that this is available in the 2nd step within 
"Modify".  I didn't realize there were more options after the first "Modify" 
screen.  So perhaps the UI could be improved, but the functionality is there.
