[New-bugs-announce] [issue25164] Windows default installation path is inconsistent between per-user and system-wide installation

[Christian Ullrich]

New submission from Christian Ullrich:

On Windows, a per-user installation uses %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python35 as the default target directory. A system-wide (InstallAllUsers=1) installation, however, goes into "%PROGRAMFILES%\Python 3.5" instead. The two directory names should be consistent with each other (and with earlier versions), that is, should be "Python35" in all cases.
