Section "3.1.3. Installing Without UI" of the Windows documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui does not mention the existence of the `/log` option.

However, this option is detailed when the Windows installer is executed with a `/?` argument. (see attached image).

The documentation (for all versions that contained the logging option) should be updated.

The help dialog also defines the `/simple` option. This appears to overlap with a "name=value" option called SimpleInstall. If both options are still active, then the docs should also mention `/simple`.  If this option is deprecated in favor of the "name=value" version, then the help dialog needs to be updated.

Finally, I think the docs would be much more readable if the slash options were in a table similar to the "name=value" options.
