Mailing List Archive: Problems building 3.7.13 on Windows

I am trying to build a full release of 3.7.13 with the Wix bundle on Windows.

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 and included its bundled Windows 10 SDK.

The SdkBinPath property in .\PCbuild\pyproject.props on line 182 seems to
incorrectly set the path to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.14393.0\x86

This does not include any of the tools referenced later such as Makecat.exe.

The right path would be set further down to (but is skipped):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86

I commented out line 182, and that allowed .\Tools\msibuild.bat to complete,
but that appears to leave the bundle named as "python-3.7.13.7804-amd64.exe"\
and it did not include the msi files (the final size was 1269 Kb).

I'd be grateful for any guidance.

Thanks,
Joseph Casale

After reading more documentation, I realized I needed to run buildrelease.bat, and
after downgrading jinja2, I was able to generate an installer.

Thanks,
