... Didn't think this likely, but I have now quintuple-checked everything again. Everything says I have the real McCoy msiexec.exe in its proper location -- just upgraded another app which used MSI installers and it went as per normal.

I'm presuming, still, that it is something to do with the "ensure that pip is present on Windows" thing? [See the bottom of my original post.]
As Benjamin asked, could you please flesh out what "blah-blah-blah-dot-com" means - what, exactly, was the site your firewall warned you about? My firewall didn't complain when I installed 3.4.0b2 on Windows.
