SCCM/MECM deployment of Python 3.10.x

[localzuk]

Has anyone been able to get Python 3.10.x to install via SCCM/MECM/Config Manager? Earlier versions (3.4, 3.8) install perfectly fine, with detection method just looking at the python.exe file version. 3.10? No such luck.

 

The install command I've got is:

 

"python-3.10.7-amd64.exe" /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1

 

Which should do what I want?

 

Then the detection rule is looking for the python.exe file in c:\program files\python310, for the version matching what it should be.

 

No such luck. It installs it, but thinks it has failed for some reason!

That’s the same command I have for 3.10.

 

What happens if you run the same install command locally without the quiet flag. Any errors shown?

We deploy via the educationstore these days, and seem to have no complaints from the Computing team about that.

Education store is being killed off in early 2023, with a replacement on its way but no date. Plus it doesn't work in Windows 11 at all, which we will be moving to at some point.

 

But on my original issue. I tried someone else's PS script for detection. That didn't work, so swapped back to my simple file version detection and tried again and it now works. Identical detection rule. Gotta love Config Manager sometimes!!

I'm using:

/QUIET /PASSIVE /NORESTART REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0

 

And only checking:

pythonw.exe exists.
