Hi Alexander!
You cannot currently bypass installation of Craft without installing Python2 .7.

You can install "Python 2.7 x86-64 MSI installer" from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2717/

and then uncomment the line that says:-

#Python27 = C:\python27

in CraftRoot/etc/CraftSettings.ini

Comment 2 Alexander Potashev 2019-12-13 19:32:50 UTC

I was able to install Craft after manually installing Python 2.7 into C:\Python27. No changes to CraftSettings.ini were necessary.

Too bad the dependency on Python2 is not documented on wiki page https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows

Comment 3 Jack 2020-04-09 21:06:05 UTC

It seems the [possible] dependency on Python27 is now mentioned on the wiki page.  Should this be closed?

Separate but related, is there any effort to remove python27 dependencies?
