On installing Python 3.5.1 with the Windows installer I have noticed some things that could maybe be enhanced:

- The launcher provides the option "Add Python 3.5 to PATH" on the first page. But if a custom installation is choosen the option appears again as "Add Python to environment variables". I think this option should not appear twice in this case so one of them could be removed. If both should be kept I think they should then at least reference to the same text.
- On a custom installation if the option "py launcher" is disabled the suboption "for all users (requires elevation)" does not get disabled. Since the option "Associate files with Python (requires the py launcher)" seems to get disabled in this case the other option should probably get disabled too.
- On a custom installation the option "Create shortcuts for installed applications" sounds confusing. What shortcuts are being created for what applications? Currently I'm assuming that the last word has a typo and this option creates the startmenu and desktop shortcuts. If this is the case maybe this option should be separated into 2 for the startmenu and the desktop shortcuts.
