New submission from Steve Dower:

If you run the installer without UI and without specifying an installation 
path, it will not install. For example:

C:\> python-3.5.0rc4-amd64-webinstall.exe /passive

The workaround is to specify TargetPath:

C:\> python-3.5.0rc4-amd64-webinstall.exe /passive TargetPath="C:\Python35_x64"

However, this workaround should not be necessary. We should use the default 
path based on the InstallAllUsers setting (false by default).
