+The latest release can be downloaded and installed by Windows by passing the

+Other tools and APIs may also be used to provision an MSIX package for all users
+on a machine, but Python does not consider this a supported scenario. We suggest
+looking into the PowerShell `Add-AppxProvisionedPackage`_ cmdlet, the native
+Windows `PackageManager`_ class, or the documentation and support for your
+deployment tool.

+be available for all users to install without network access.
 
 Note that the MSIX downloadable from the Store and from the Python website are
 subtly different and cannot be installed at the same time. Wherever possible,

+we suggest using the above WinGet commands to download the package from the
