FWIW, individual msi files are still available on python.org, e.g. (for 3.7.4 64-bit)
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/amd64/
This is essentially how the web-based installer works. Those msi files map quite nicely to individual options of the exe wrapper, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out what you need (or you can just read the CPython source).
I assume existing versions are guaranteed to work as long as python.org works (otherwise the web-based installer would cease to work), but there’s likely no compatibility guarantees for future releases.

Correct. The installer technology used for the python.org builds
changed some time ago (I think Python 3.4 was the last version to use
an MSI installer).

Greetings!
my organization uses Python across it's departments but the recent versions of Python do NOT have an MSI download. We use SCCM for deployment of software and because the downloads are all .exe based, the program is no longer in compliance with my organization's security policies. I've looked and I've looked but I cannot find an MSI for this program.
