Dear Python Developers
I hope to be able to use the latest version Python on my Windows 7
PC soon. The installer is very buggy and as I have discovered that
the new exe installer since version 3.5.0 introduces more and more
bugs that are yet to be resolved. Python erases all it's files,
except the installer and state.rsm within the Package Cache folder,
if I change the installation directory and or select "Install for
all users" when undergoing the custom installation. After upgrading
to version 3.6.4, Python erased all it's files, except the installer
and state.rsm within the Package Cache folder, because I have Python
in a directory other than
"..\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36". The Python 3.6.4
installer won't install pip, and pip.exe won't be present in the
Package Cache folder, even if it is selected in the custom
installation and modifying the installation to do so will cause
Python to erases all it's files, except the installer and
state.rsm within the Package Cache folder. Trying to install pip
from a pip.exe of a previous version to 3.6.4, such as 3.6.3, will
be unsuccessful. Repairing Python 3.6.4 will instead install Python
into "..\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36" with all optional
features except for pip. My only option is to keep the default
directory and install Python from 3.6.3 or below. Ever since the
first version of the new exe installer, installing to a directory
other than "..\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36" has proven
impossible. The old msi installer had none of the issues so I hope
you developers actually try out the exe installer and see the
problems for yourselves.
