[New-bugs-announce] [issue34737] Python upgrade with SYSTEM account uninstalls python

Wed Sep 19 09:44:34 EDT 2018

New submission from Jatin Goel <jatingoel1037 at gmail.com>:

Team,

I have some Windows machines where Python version 3.6.2 is installed.

We are now upgrading them to 3.6.6

As part of our Install process, we launch the installation script with the SYSTEM account with the command:

python-3.6.6-amd64.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 log "[logpath]\InstallPython"

This command works fine if I launch it interactively, i.e., from an Administrator account from command prompt, and version is upgraded successfully.

But when launching the same command from the SYSTEM account, it tries to install Just for Me, and not all users and some checks fails, and it removes the installed python as well.
