Link Mauve added the comment: Maybe you could continue to distribute the msi? I’ve also heard it’s used by Windows admins to install something on many computers at once. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23538

Steve Dower added the comment: The latest wine may not be up to date enough, since the new installer (and new Python) depend on MSVC 14.0, which is still only in preview. Of course, there could be other issues, but without any more information it's very difficult to act on them. --

Steve Dower added the comment: The new installer can also be used for that, and it's actually documented now (at least in the CHM - doesn't seem to have made it onto the website yet). I personally install it onto many computers at once fairly often, so I'm going to make sure that works. The

Link Mauve added the comment: The installer runs, but the first screen doesn’t display any of its buttons (I can still click on them). After trying to start the actual installation, I get “0x80070005 - Access Denied” (despite having the permissions on my wine folder, of course). Whether I

Steve Dower added the comment: Yeah, I don't get anything helpful out of that, except that it seems wine hasn't implemented some of the APIs that it needs to run the installer. You may get a more helpful response from one of their devs, but I'm well out of my depth sorry. --
