What steps will reproduce the bug?

Just hour ago I downloaded the latest .msi for installation on Windows 10. I installed the first part and then it started Windows PowerShell. PowerShell was trying to get a file from C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\python3 but there is no such directory, only C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\python. So, it expects python3 and it gets just python. Bellow you can find PowerShell's error report regarding that failure.

python3 v3.11.0 [Approved]
python3 package files upgrade completed. Performing other installation steps.
Installing 64-bit python3...
WARNING: Generic MSI Error. This is a local environment error, not an issue with a package or the MSI itself - it could mean a pending reboot is necessary prior to install or something else (like the same version is already installed). Please see MSI log if available. If not, try again adding '--install-arguments="'/l*v c:\python3_msi_install.log'"'. Then search the MSI Log for "Return Value 3" and look above that for the error.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

100%

What is the expected behavior?

It should finish installation of both Node.js and npm. But it only installs Node.js and it doesn't install npm.

What do you see instead?

Did you look at the log file that's mentioned in the error message? What did it say?

[DROBNJAK]

log file is looking for a sub-directory "python3", while only "python" exists. Probably its an error in the installation script.

as well log file first says that it installed Python, then it says it failed. As well I already have python installed, so its not picking it up.

I've decided to not install these tools and move on. That worked
