The bdist_wininst installer does not run the specified --install-script.

Attached is an example project foo.zip.
setup.py is invoked as follows:
py setup.py bdist_wininst --install-script foo_postinstall.py

The installer shows that it successfully ran the install script, but it did not do this. The file C:\foo.txt is not created. If I add print()s to the install script, these messages are not shown either.

I tested this on Python 3.4, 64-bit (Win7) and 32-bit (XP)

Probably caused by issue #21354

3f7d5c235d82 runs script, 70ea05f762a1 does not.

0c8f41ca9c94 + t.patch from #21354 does not run script.

Turns out I had a build problem (#11598).
0c8f41ca9c94 + t.patch does actually solve the problem.
