Hi,

I am deploying Python to hundreds of machines using SCCM 2012. I am using the below command to install:

Msiexec /i “python.msi” TARGETDIR=”C:\Program Files\Python” ALLUSERS=1 /qn

Even though I am using /qn, a command prompt still appears at the end of the install for about 5-6 seconds. Is there any way to make the install totally silent?

The exact version of the .msi is:

python-3.4.2.amd64.msi

Regards,

I haven't actually tried your command line myself, but I suspect that
the final "command prompt" is actually the ensurepip step. You should be
able to stop that by disabling that particular feature. Off the top of
my head I don't know what the feature name is; I'll have to clone a 3.4
repo and check (the installer has changed substantially for 3.5).

By quick inspection, it looks as though:

msiexec ADDLOCAL="all" REMOVE="pip_feature" /i python-3.4.2.amd64.msi /qn

should do the trick

Fantastic! I ran the below command and it worked:

Msiexec /i python.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Python" ADDLOCAL="all" REMOVE="pip_feature" /qn

Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks for confirming that the answer worked. One thing to note: this
incantation doesn't just remove the aesthetic nuisance of a "DOS Box"
appearing. It actually prevents pip from being installed. This isn't
necessarily a problem; you might not want it installed, and there are
several ways of getting it there after the fact. But you need to be
aware that this is the effect.

Personally I find that Python is incomplete without pip and setuptools.

Of course; that's why the ensurepip was added to the installers. But
there are other ways of installing pip after the event. Including
simply: py -3 -m ensurepip

18 characters, why do the core devs have to make everything so verbose? :)

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask

Well of course I was being a bit wordy there. This should be enough:

py -mensurepip

(assuming that this is your first install and/or that you haven't messed
around with your py-loader config).

Hi, in order to install a new version of python, you already need to use the .exe file. It is easier to install.
The commands can be seen in the table: https://www.silentinstall.org/silently-install-python/
