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.

Cheers,
Steve
