Also, if you could provide some instructions on how to validate the issue you 
are reporting. Right now, I'm not even sure what you are seeing that is the 
problem.

Can you please provide the full set of logs for the Python 3.7 install? 
(They'll be in %TEMP%, and there will be quite a number of them.)

If you provide a patch, we can take a look and possibly merge it for you, but 
it's unlikely that this will be picked up by a maintainer without a patch to 
review.

If you would like to try patching it, all the necessary files should be in 
2.7/Tools/msi, and you can feel free to ask questions here if you get stuck.  
Good luck!

[issue34470] windows msi in headless mode fails to install Script directory on reinstall if the python folder was deleted but not uninstalled

[Christopher Knorowski]

New submission from Christopher Knorowski :

Steps to repeate (windows 10)

msiexec.exe /i python-2.7.15.amd64.msi ALL_USERS=0 
TARGETDIR=C:\Users\Public\python /qr

(fresh install works without issue)

rm -r C:\Users\Public\python

(On reinstall scripts folder and all site-packages are not copied ie. no Pip or 
easy_install)

msiexec.exe /i python-2.7.15.amd64.msi ALL_USERS=0 
TARGETDIR=C:\Users\Public\python /qr
