[New-bugs-announce] [issue28110] py launcher has different product codes between 32 and 64-bit

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower:

The launcher.msi file that is part of 3.6.0b1 is different between the 32-bit and 64-bit release - specifically, a different product code.

This means that when you install one followed by the other, it will insist on updating the launcher even though the are the same. This may cause unnecessary UAC prompts.

Other than this, there aren't any ill effects. But they're supposed to be using the same product code, so I need to investigate why they are different.
