[issue41800] Python installation fails when run under system account if there is already an existing installation on the system already

Python's installer doesn't change that often ;)

Without some information about your scenario, I can't make a recommendation.

However, I will say that if you are including any of your own Python code with your application, and especially any compiled modules, you probably don't want to give users the ability to independently remove or modify your Python install. Much better to include the runtime you have tested with and only update your users to a newer version once you have tested with that one.
