As expected, Python 3.9.0 cannot be installed on Windows 7.

Running the installer displays a message clearly stating this.

However, running the installer in passive mode (/passive) is expected to display errors that might occur. As stated in https://docs.python.org//3.9/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui

But this is not the case, nothing is displayed when launching the installer in passive mode.

I would expect the same message as in the UI.

Probably an easy fix, if someone has a Win7 machine around to test on (which I don't these days). There are some UI level comparisons in the bootstrapper C++ file under Tools/msi that probably need fixing.

Not urgent. Won't be long until Win10 is the only one we have to worry about.
