New submission from Debarshi Goswami: Python installer (msi) having problem in installing Python for all users in Windows. It gets installed for installing user only.
I was able to log the python output and found the below in the log. MSI (s) (8C:D0) [07:13:00:212]: Determined that existing product (either this product or the product being upgraded with a patch) is installed per-user. I tried the below command combinations to install python per machine, but it seems this a default product behavior. It should be fixed. 1. msiexec /i %setup_loc% TARGETDIR="C:\apps\Python34" ADDLOCAL="ALL" ALLUSERS="1" MSIINSTALLPERUSER="" /qb 2. msiexec /i %setup_loc% TARGETDIR="C:\apps\Python34" ADDLOCAL="ALL" WHICHUSERS="ALL" /qb 3. msiexec /a %setup_loc% /passive /norestart TARGETDIR="c:\apps\Python34" ADDLOCAL="ALL" ALLUSERS="1" Setup_loc=python msi file location ADDLOCAL="ALL" - Install all the features of the product . ALLUSERS="1" - ALLUSERS property value of 1 specifies the per-machine installation . MSIINSTALLPERUSER="" - MSIINSTALLPERUSER property to an empty string ("") for a per-machine installation. Please let me know if I am missing anything. It seems a bug to me. ---------- components: Installation messages: 248109 nosy: Debarshi.Goswami priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python installer having problem in installing Python for all users in Windows type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24805> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
