[issue36010] Please provide a .zip Windows release of Python that is not crippled/for embedding only

Is nuget a standard windows utility? What happens if that process is interrupted? What happens if I install it twice to different folders? What happens if I want a specific python version?

Don't get me wrong maybe it can do all these things, but why on earth do I need this? I can even produce this .zip myself, just the regular installer run with /Q and then copy it, but I need to do that for each new release and everyone else who might need it will also need to do that.

Is it really that much work to do this centrally once so it's available for everyone? After all the embeddable install is already available in such a way, it's just that being the stripped down embeddable version its use is limited
