[Distutils] Re: Python 3.7.4 MSI
While this is technically true, your chances of getting it to work are very slim. If you have a need for an MSI, my best suggestion right now is to take one of our distributions (the package at https://www.nuget.org/packages/python is likely easiest) and use a tool to generate one from that. We require additional maintainers if we are going to maintain more distribution mechanisms. If your organisation is running Windows 10, you can use SCCM to deploy the Store package as well. Depending on your precise needs, that may be an option too.

FWIW, individual msi files are still available on python.org, e.g. (for 3.7.4 64-bit) https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/amd64/ This is essentially how the web-based installer works.
