No, but if your script can download a zip of Python, it could download
the nuget executable.

Same as interrupting an unzip operation.

NuGet installs are basically just an unzip process, so you simply have

Use '-Version <version-string>' as an option to 'nuget install'.
<version-string> can be any of the versions listed on
https://www.nuget.org/packages/python/.

It is available to all and is provided by the Windows release manager,
see https://www.nuget.org/packages/python/.
