Python 3.7.2 Windows x86 executable installer does not allow single user installation

Tags:

python-3.7

I am trying to install latest Python (3.7.3) on a couple of Windows 10 PCs without admin privileges. For this purpose I downloaded the corresponding executable installer from download link.

When executing the installer, some of the Windows PCs show the Install launcher for all users (recommended) option force checked. I can't proceed with the installation since I'm asked for admin privileges even though Python is to be installed on a user directory with reading and writing permissions.

Why is the Install launcher for all users (recommended) option force checked? Could it have something to do with existing launcher installations? Is there any way around?

Not sure why, but once I uninstalled existing Python Launcher I was able to uncheck the Install launcher for all users option and install Python without admin privileges.
