machines without user interaction. These options may also be set without
suppressing the UI in order to change some of the defaults.

``/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
passed into the installer:

+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Name | Description |
+=====================+========================================================+
| /passive | to display progress without requiring user interaction |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| /quiet | to install/uninstall without displaying any UI |

| /simple | to prevent user customization |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| /uninstall | to remove Python (without confirmation) |

| /layout [directory] | to pre-download all components |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
