[issue44575] Windows installer prohibits different patches for the same version

After reviewing all the suggested options of the "versioned" Windows install I came to the conclusion that the "NuGet" path is the easiest.
Assuming x - version, y - patch number, the following steps work

1. Unzip 'Tools' folder of the NuGet archive into Python\3xy
2. Re-install pip to add pip.exe to Python\3xy\Scripts

3xy\python.exe -m pip install -U pip --force-reinstall

It works like a regular install after that.

Switching between versions can be done via a symbolic link:

cmd /c mklink /d 3x 3xy

Optional: Add Python\3x\Scripts;Python\3x to the PATH env variable.

----------
resolution:  -> works for me
