Please see my script attached.

Once the records are completed, the View.Fetch() function should give a none value but intsead giving runtime error: _msi.MSIError: unknown error 103

It is already mentioned in the bugs.
https://bugs.python.org/issue29364
https://bugs.python.org/issue1102

The comments mentioned as it will be fixed in the coming release.
But it is a long back comment,but still not fixed.

Any update on this?

It seems you have added some patches as .c files, but how do we apply those on windows machines?
No documentation related to it.

https://bugs.python.org/file24795/_msi_fetch.patch.txt
https://bugs.python.org/file11840/_msi.patch.txt

Could you please help me how to apply these patches on windows environment.

I tried adding the bugs to the python source code and compile it by using the steps in https://docs.python.org/devguide/ and the fix in https://bugs.python.org/file24795/_msi_fetch.patch.txt, but ended up with many compilation errors

Issue 1102 is still open so this bug is not fixed yet. I've just opened PR 4459 to fix it.
