Hi all,
The installer dialog mentions Python will be installed in something like
$USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32 while at the same
time suggesting it will be made available for all users through the
"Install launcher for all users (recommended)". This is confusing -- if
the package is to be made available for everybody, it shouldn't be
installed somewhere under the profile folder of whomever is installing
it, normally other people can't even access this folder at all.
It should be installed in %Program Files(x86)%, unless it is a private
installation indeed (the "Install launcher for all users" is unchecked).
Is this an omission of sorts? Is one expected to correct this
themselves, during installation -- I don't see where one would even
specify the installation folder?
Armen, do you understand that the py.exe launcher is a separate program
from 3.7 python.exe and that it is a *multiversion* launcher and that
only one copy of the program is needed on the system regardless of how
many users have how many pythons installed and that it is best if the
one copy is the latest possible version?
