Modifying an install

Once Python has been installed, you can add or remove features through the

Programs and Features tool that is part of Windows. Select the Python entry and

choose "Uninstall/Change" to open the installer in maintenance mode.

"Modify" allows you to add or remove features by modifying the checkboxes -

unchanged checkboxes will not install or remove anything. Some options cannot be

changed in this mode, such as the install directory; to modify these, you will

need to remove and then reinstall Python completely.

"Repair" will verify all the files that should be installed using the current

settings and replace any that have been removed or modified.

"Uninstall" will remove Python entirely, with the exception of the

:ref:`launcher`, which has its own entry in Programs and Features.
