A launcher might be difficult to integrate into the Python installer, as there can, by definition, only be one. What if I install a new version of Python and then uninstall it? Will the launcher be uninstalled as well? Will it be reverted to a previous version, and if so, which?
As long as component rules are maintained (the same components with same GUIDs install the same files in the same locations) and they are marked shared, Windows Installer will handle everything for us. If the files have versions the way Windows Installer can process them, it will even keep the highest version of the file in place. -- Michael Urman
