Currently can't install 343 on my computer. I had 342 installed, and wanted to uninstall that for 343. Afterwards, being the idiot that I was, I deleted the files in the Python34 folder. Uninstalling gives me an error.

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support or package vendor.

I currently have python 342 on my computer which I am unable to uninstall since it is missing the files.

(This doesn't affect 3.5)

My guess is the missing ensurepip module is the problem. See if you can Repair the original install and then remove it.

Never mind, I used ccleaner and revo uninstaller to delete traces, then reinstalled using the msi. Thanks for help, it's all good now!
