[issue20983] Python 3.4 'repair' Windows installation does not install pip & setuptools packages

On Windows 7 SP1 x64 after having installed Python 3.3 (x64) in “c:\Python33” 
and then subsequently installing Python 3.4 (x64) in “c:\Python34”, and then 
uninstalling the Python 3.3 (x64) and I’m not sure what else I may have done, I 
can no longer do any of the following:
Open an IDLE window using the Windows Start Menu;
Uninstall, Change, or Repair Python 3.4 using Windows Programs and 
Features;
Uninstall Python 3.4 using Windows Start Menu;
Reinstall Python 3.4 using the current 3.4 .msi install program.

I would like to go back to being able to do a forced fresh install.

I am a Python newby so maybe I should open a new incident but I don’t know how 
to start one yet.

Perhaps I should try the previously described reproduce procedure by doing the 
following:
Rename or delete target installation folder and then rerun Python installation 
procedure to install.

Martin: Thank you for your prompt and helpful response to my attempt to tag
along to a possibly similar bug. I had been working on my issue for about
two weeks and truly believed it was a bug before i adventured as I did. As
you know, the difference between a problem and a bug is who comes up with
the fix.

I continued working my issue and discovered I could reinstall by running
msiexec with the "/l *v" option and again with the "/fa /l*v" option which
forces all file files to be reinstalled. I still consider this to be a bug
in the Python installer because the installer does not truly repair. But I
am a happy camper now will use the python-list you recommended.
