Hi Barry,
Automation is using the system account using which the installation is failing
with exit code 3. This account has the administrative privileges.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks,

Hi Barry,
Yes, the install was for specific user. As suggested by you, when I installed a
version for all users, I was able to uninstall from the account used for
automation successfully.
Thank you for the help on this issue.
However, for installation the account being used in automation has
administrative access for the system and yet fails with exit code 3.
Installation is working only when we provide a specific user account in
automation. Can you please suggest a resolution for this issue.
Also, with the approach of using msiexec.exe to uninstall different components
of python version, though all the components are uninstalled
successfully(executables, core interpreter, test suite, standard library, etc.
) but still an entry for this version shows in the control panel with the
options: Modify, repair and uninstall. I am unable to identify which component
has still remained as a part of the installer.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Tripura

I would guess that this is because you installed for the user not for all-users.
If true fix your install to do it for all-users and you should be able to
uninstall as any user.
But this will require admin privs for both install and uninstall. As assume you
can find out how to bet the admin priv required for your automation.
