The former should produce a test installer that should be isolated from a regular install (though it may not be perfect), while the latter is used for the official release. <br><br>If you're going to use the latter and redistribute the result, you should read the instructions in the batch file and make the modifications it suggests (basically, there's a URI used to generate GUIDs, and also registry keys for PEP 514 and self-locating). Please don't distribute an installer that conflicts with the official one :)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br><br>Top-posted from my Windows Phone</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">From: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:joao.moreira@free.fr">joao.moreira@free.fr</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Sent: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">4/16/2017 10:32</span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">To: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:python-dev@python.org">python-dev@python.org</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">[Python-Dev] Installing a newly-built python on windows</span><br><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Hi all, </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">I've followed the instructions in the 1st chapter (Getting Started) of the Python Developers's Guide to compile python 3.6 from source, using VS 2017 on a Windows 7 SP1.
