if install-script specified and
alternative python location selected during installation,
msiexec will fail with:
    
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer
    package. A program required for this install to
    complete could not be run. Contact your support
    personnel or package vendor.

This is due to the lack of PythonExeX Custom Action setting
the path to python.exe

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
