Error during the installation of Python

Question

I have downloaded too many versions of Python.

But during the installation of each of them; it gives me the following error:

One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see the log file.

The log file is a notepad file; and I don't know how to attach it to this post.
I have searched the word error in that file; and the result as follows:

Answer 1

Try install C Runtime update from Microsoft. Use following link, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows . Then Try to reinstall python 3.5

Answer 2

I faced a similar problem recently. I noticed that the error came when trying to run the python.msi from a remote/network location. Copy the installer to local machine and it should work perfectly.

Answer 3

I had the same issue with my fresh installation of windows 8.1(64x). The problem was solved by updating the Windows using Windows Update panel. Following updates were installed(I can not be specific about which of them resolved my issue) but after installation of the updates and a system reboot, the latest version of python(3.10.5) was successfully installed on my machine.
