Hmm, so it seems the Python 3.10 chocolate install is failing because of an existing Python install:
https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/runs/8133106879?check_suite_focus=true#step:6:2589

even though Python was specifically installed before:
https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/runs/8133106879?check_suite_focus=true#step:6:2388

@kszucs @kou Would you know why that would be?

It seems that some Python related products were failed to uninstall:

https://github.com/ursacomputing/crossbow/runs/8133106879?check_suite_focus=true#step:6:2437

Executing (\\298D943B4072\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_Product.IdentifyingNumber="{1D60E386-848D-45D1-BB0A-7E26A3E32011}",Name="Python 3.10.6 Utility Scripts (64-bit)",Vendor="Python Software Foundation",Version="3.10.6150.0")->Uninstall()


Method execution successful.

};

I tried to install https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.6/python-3.10.6-amd64.exe on local Windows and found the followings:

• I can see only "Python 3.10.6 (64-bit)" entry in control panel. (I can't see any other Python related entries in control panel.)
• But I can see multiple Python related entries by wmic product list status[1] but there is no "Python 3.10.6 (64-bit)" entry.

I'm not sure how Python's Windows installer is built but it seems that we need to use the uninstaller provided by "Python 3.10.6 (64-bit)" or run uninstallers of "Python 3.10.6 * (64-bit)" in proper order.

I'm gonna close this as it's entirely out of date.
