[issue42027] /passive run of Windows installer fail silently on Win7

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Probably an easy fix, if someone has a Win7 machine around to test on (which I 
don't these days). There are some UI level comparisons in the bootstrapper C++ 
file under Tools/msi that probably need fixing.

Not urgent. Won't be long until Win10 is the only one we have to worry about.

[issue42027] /passive run of Windows installer fail silently on Win7

[Colin]

New submission from Colin :

As expected, Python 3.9.0 cannot be installed on Windows 7. 

Running the installer displays a message clearly stating this. 

However, running the installer in passive mode (/passive) is expected to 
display errors that might occur. As stated in 
https://docs.python.org//3.9/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui

But this is not the case, nothing is displayed when launching the installer in 
passive mode.

I would expect the same message as in the UI.
