New submission from WilliamM <william.mye...@pcc.edu>:
I've been writing a script for the Python 3.X install package and encountering
some issues due to that.
I'm using the installation property InstallAllUsers=1 but find that Python is
still placing it's Add/Remove programs entry in user context.
Applications usually write system level installs to
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
What I'm encountering with Python is that it's writing them to
HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
This is causing some difficulty as it prevents software such as SCCM, KACE,
Altiris from being able to detect the main program install or a user with
elevated privileges from being able to remove it.
Deploying the software will end up with the entry located the System Account's
registry within
HKU\S-5-1-18\Software\Microsoft\WIndows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{Prodct GUID}
To add a bit more info, only the dependencies show up in
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Python 3.6.4 TCL/TK support (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.4 Development Libraries (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.5 Documentation (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.4 Utility Scripts (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.4 Executables (32-Bit)
Python launcher (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.4 Test Suite (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.4 Core Interpreter (32-Bit)
Python 3.6.4 Standard Library (32-Bit)
However the "Python 3.6.4 (32-Bit)" Install that has the installation and
bundled uninstall package is located in
HKU\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\WIndows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{9218130b-5ad0-4cf7-82be-6993cfd6cb84}
Is there a known workaround/solution for this or something that can be resolved
in a later build?
