unattended install of binary python packages (modules) for windows


You can download the source code of pywin32 at sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/ and then build it as MSI file yourself. Therefore you need setuptools (only for building). Use the command "setup.py bdist_msi" to create a MSI installer in the "dist" directory.

The same procedure should work for all Windows-compatible packages.


Current easy_install can install the pre-build ".exe" installers silently, i.e.;

C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe pywin32-220.win32-py2.7.exe

will install pywin32.

This also enables possibility to remove using pip;

pip uninstall pywin32 -y

uninstalls pywin32


As said in a linked answer you can succeed with using easy_install if the installer was created with distutils.
