Describe the bug
At a Debian command prompt I typed 'wine pymanager exec -37' and got the error log as the response.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a Debian 13 (Trixie) installation.
2. Install the wine64 package followed by doing the additional stuff as instructed by the response to 'wine cmd' at the Debian command prompt.
3. Type 'wine pymanager exec -37' at the Debian command prompt
4. See error
   Expected behavior
   Whatever is supposed to happen. This was literally my first use of pymanager.

Additional context
The MSI was downloaded on 29 May 2026 (yesterday). I just checked 'https://www.python.org/ftp' in my browser and got 'Error 404: File not found'.

I suppose doing this on a Windows installation will get the same outcome.

I suppose it's possible the downloadable MSI has not caught up yet!

Log file attatched.

Forgot to mention the 'bundled' directory referenced in the response to the command does not exist.
