[issue43866] Installation files of the Python

Apr 16, 2021, 7:07 AM

Post #1 of 5 (4 views)

New submission from Muhammad Hussein Ammari <xmha97@gmail.com>:

I have WhatsApp installed for all users. (on %ProgramFiles%)
Unfortunately, I just saw that installation files of the Python are stored on "%LocalAppData%\Package Cache".
Installation files should be stored on "%ProgramData%\Package Cache".
The problem now is that other users can no longer delete or update Python.
Please fix this issue.
Thanks.

Python, when installed for all users, installs to %ProgramFiles% (or %ProgramFiles(x86)% for 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows).

The %LocalAppData% install is just for you... you didn't install it for everyone or you didn't provide Python with the Administrator privileges it needs for %ProgramFiles% (IE: No process elevation)

Yeah, it's a known limitation of the installer technology we're using. issue25166 is the same issue, so we'll track it there.
