After installation of the .msi installer, pythonw.exe 
will not execute. Also, IDLE no longer appears 
anywhere.

IDLE does appear and works fine. Sorry

How do you know that pythonw does not execute? It works fine
for me (and, indeed, IDLE is started with pythonw).

If pythonw.exe is started without any argument, is it
supposed to do anything?

If pythonw is started without an argument, it immediately quits.

In that case, it must be working perfectly. IDLE does work 
OK. I thought that clicking on pythonw used to start the 
program, but it must be OK now. Sorry for the comment.
