 suppressing the UI in order to change some of the defaults.
 
-To completely hide the installer UI and install Python silently, pass the
-``/quiet`` option. To skip past the user interaction but still display
-progress and errors, pass the ``/passive`` option. The ``/uninstall``
-option may be passed to immediately begin removing Python - no confirmation
-prompt will be displayed.
+The following options (found by executing the installer with ``/?``) can be

 All other options are passed as ``name=value``, where the value is usually
 ``0`` to disable a feature, ``1`` to enable a feature, or a path. The full list
