distutils2 is no more and the feature freeze for distutils was lifted.
However, this does not strike me as an important feature to add.

My concern for MSI is that this issue is referencing a change to MSI
generation. I never had any expectation for wininst to generate an MSI.
I’m sorry, it was me that first talked about wininst by mistake, the bug report
always was about msi.

It also creates an exe installer, not an MSI.
Why would you think it creates an MSI? bdist_wininst is not bdist_msi.

I mean that msi is _not_ set as a valid format. I will verify this evening.

What do you mean with disabled? There is a bdist_wininst command in packaging.
Use “pysetup run bdist_wininst” to call it.

I was having a separate difficulty with bdist. Apparently -m packaging.run and
pysetup3 run don't perform identically, but that isn't relevant for this bug.
Regarding bdist, I got bdist_wininst to work but I had to modify the code in

That’s very surprising, given that they have the same one-line code. Please
file that bug.

bdist does not appear to be enabled in 3.3 development branch, is this correct?

As a new feature, this cannot go into distutils.
Would you like to contribute a patch? I have currently no idea about the
workings of the MSI code.

I can only do wxPython, I have no idea how Python's MSI installers work. I did
a quick search for Finish in the codebase but could find any obvious place to
