MPC wizard allowing me to install already installed features again

The "Installed" tab lists all features I installed. But instead of allowing me to uninstall them, each item in the list features an "install" button, basically allowing me to try to install the feature again. Fortunately, MPC will discover it is trying to install the feature in vain, yielding the error message "Problem occurred: There is nothing to update". After that, the respective feature is in "Install pending" state.

I suggest to change the "install" button behavior so I can use it to uninstall installed features.

thanks for the bug.  Looks like a duplicate of 316631.  Only items that have been installed using MPC should show up in the installed tab.
