 Apt.py and setup.exe use the same install database and procedures (though not code). One can switch between them at will depending on the needs of the moment. Configure setup.exe's cache directory to `C:\Osgeo4W\var\cache\setup` to avoid duplicating downloads. I would of course expect problems were both to run at the same time.
 
-I've been using apt.py without significant issues for over a year, nevertheless I still consider this alpha software. This is my first real  software development project and I've no training whatsoever. The only reason it works at all is because the original author, Jan Nieuwenhuizen, knew what he was doing when he wrote cyg-apt for cygwin.

 The biggest functional problem is that uninstall is not yet comprehensive. There is little error trapping and not enough feedback on commands. For example "apt remove" just silently exits back to the shell prompt when it should respond with a usage message ("apt remove [package_name]"), at the least. (#53)
