I have WhatsApp installed for all users. (on %ProgramFiles%) Unfortunately, I just saw that installation files of the Python are stored on "%LocalAppData%\Package Cache". Installation files should be stored on "%ProgramData%\Package Cache". The problem now is that other users can no longer delete or update Python. Please fix this issue. Thanks. |

Python, when installed for all users, installs to %ProgramFiles% (or %ProgramFiles(x86)% for 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows). The %LocalAppData% install is just for you... you didn't install it for everyone or you didn't provide Python with the Administrator privileges it needs for %ProgramFiles% (IE: No process elevation) |

Yeah, it's a known limitation of the installer technology we're using. issue25166 is the same issue, so we'll track it there. |
