Here's the log, and some notes:

Starting state:
- Python 3.3.5 installed to P:\Python33
- Python 3.4.1 installed to P:\Python34
- py[w].exe present in C:\Windows

State after Python 3.4.1 uninstalled by python-3.4.1.msi (and manually removed P:\Python34 which still contained some debris in Lib and Scripts):
- Python 3.3.5 still installed
- Python 3.4.1 uninstalled
- py[w].exe no longer present in C:\Windows

msiexec /i python-3.4.1.msi /l*v py.log
- Installed for all users
- Destination set to P:\Python34
- Components left at default (all selected except 'Add python.exe to Path')
- Install completed successfully
State afterward:
- Python 3.3.5 still installed
- Python 3.4.1 properly installed in P:\Python34
- py[w].exe now present in C:\Windows

Picking through the log, I find that I did actually get the error the OP noted; it just doesn't seem to matter:
