Description

I'm trying to install oci-cli on a new Windows 11 OS. I'm using these instructions - https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm#InstallingCLI__windows and when I initiate step 5 "Run the installer script with or without prompts" The installation freezes on this line at the bottom of the below output...

VERBOSE: Python found in registry: HKCU:\Software\Python\PythonCore
VERBOSE: Downloading install script to C:\Users\keega\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3FC2.tmp
VERBOSE: False False
VERBOSE: Using Python executable: C:\Users\keega\Python\python.exe to run install script...
VERBOSE: Arguments to python script: "C:\Users\keega\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3FC2.tmp"

No matter how long I leave this nothing happens.

Research direction

Reproduce the Windows 11 installation using the linked OCI CLI instructions, especially step 5, from PowerShell. Start with the verbose output showing the downloaded script and selected Python executable, then determine where the installer stops. Done means the installation completes instead of remaining at that output.
