[issue44402] Python 3.9 and 3.10 fails to install in WINE

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

WINE is not a platform that we officially support, and for the installer, I'm willing to say that we never will.

Our installer is based on the WiX Toolset, so anything that can be fixed will have to be fixed by them first. It's possible that they have already fixed whatever broke between those releases and we just need to update the version we're using, but a detailed report is not going to help us as we don't control that code.

If you download the package from https://www.nuget.org/packages/python/ (either using the Nuget CLI tool or directly from the page), you should be able to just extract and run it on WINE (at least as well as WINE can support it, which is up to them rather than us, but at least any specific issues in CPython we can work around if necessary).
