Python scripting and Windows MSI upgrades

Enabling Python scripting in the Windows MSI can result in various issues during in-place upgrades. These issues may lead to installation, upgrade, or uninstall failures.

Following the below instructions can help mitigate the issues encountered during installation or upgrade.

• Avoid in-place upgrades.

  Always perform a clean uninstall before installing a new version of the software.

• Fix the issues with the minifi_native.pyd file.
