Somewhat deliberate. We moved to properly support side-by-side installs, which can't be done with this key - App Paths would end up out of sync with PATH... almost instantly, really. (However, the Windows Store package manages this correctly in line with its PATH management, so they won't get out of sync.) However, the py.exe launcher could be added there instead, as it is managed separately from the Python install so there's only ever one. It also handles the file association and drop handler, so it would make sense to set it here too. The registry key would have to be added to the launcher MSI, somewhere under Tools/msi. Probably also needs a keypath registry key under its own location to be able to manage this properly - there should be other examples available. ---------- components: +Windows nosy: +paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware title: Windows 3.5 installer does not add python to "App Paths" key -> Windows installer does not add py.exe launcher to "App Paths" key type: -> enhancement versions: +Python 3.11 -Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue25355> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
