Well, the subject line pretty much tells it all. I'm not entirely sure it is a bug though since I see no other reports of the issue. I'm on UNIX or Linux most of the time anyway but I wanted to upgrade from a Python -19 version I had on my Windows laptop. I could simply not find a way to enable the admin button on the first installer dialog page so there was no way moving forward to enable a global install. . I grabbed the latest 3.12 pre-release and it worked like a charm. I'm stumped, but then I'm not a Windows fanboy by any means.
I'll wait for the next maintenance release of 3.11 and try again. If you have any ides in the interim,, shoot me a message.
