It NEEDS to communicate more as to why it is rolling back the pip install (progress bar goes backwards, install fails).

Reasons can be:

1. older/wrong versions of Python listed in the PATH - eg c:\Python27 encountered when c:\Python34 is being installed. User should redo PATH env-var.

2. PYTHONPATH similarly set to the wrong thing. User should delete PYTHONPATH env-vars.

3. Incompatible Python installed. User should uninstall other Python's first.

The windows install does not have to silently fail on the pip piece. It can do more to inform them end-user, and not drive them off to stackoverflow.
