[New-bugs-announce] [issue25086] Windows x86-64 embeddable zip file, lot of big EXE files in distuils

[Wolfgang Langner]

New submission from Wolfgang Langner:

In the Windows x86-64 embeddable zip file in
python35.zip\distutils\command\
are a lot of big EXE files. Possible during build for different
VC compilers.

I don't know the exact structure but thing there should only be EXE's
for the actual used compiler to build Python.

But there are:

wininst-10.0-amd64.exe
wininst-10.0.exe
wininst-14.0-amd64.exe
wininst-14.0.exe
wininst-6.0.exe
wininst-7.1.exe
wininst-8.0.exe
wininst-9.0-amd64.exe
wininst-9.0.exe

These files are really big, and some or all? possible not needed for
and embeddable zip distributed Python.
