New submission from Jörn Jacobi <j...@geekware.dk>: When executing the installer with arguments or using the unattend.xml to run it without UI as documented in https://python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui the installer ignores the arguments or unattend.xml when it's executed again.
The second time, the installer (running i modify mode) uses the default values (hereby removing the Prepenpath if set the first time) (testet with version 3.6.6-amd64 to 3.7.3-amd64 of the executable installer) To recreate, run the following : step 1 : python-3.6.6-amd64.exe /passive InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_doc=0 Include_dev=0 Include_tcltk=0 Include_test=0 SimpleInstall=1 now python is install as expected. step 2 : python-3.6.6-amd64.exe /passive InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_doc=0 Include_dev=0 Include_tcltk=0 Include_test=0 SimpleInstall=1 even though the options are exactly the same, the installer now removes python from path and installs tcltk, documentation, test and dev. step 3 : python-3.6.6-amd64.exe /passive InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_doc=0 Include_dev=0 Include_tcltk=0 Include_test=0 SimpleInstall=1 now the installer only makes a quick check, what i would have expected in step 2, but hare only the default values are used. ---------- components: Installation messages: 345589 nosy: Jörn Jacobi priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Unexpected behavior when running installer a second time with the same arguments or unattend.xml type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37283> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
