New submission from Marius Gedminas: I installed Python 3.5 on a Windows Server 2012 VM, twice (once the 32-bit, and once the 64-bit version). When it started throwing error dialogs at me, I started taking screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/zwfz4.
What happened: - I selected advanced installation - checked "install for all users" - changed the install path to c:\python35 (and c:\python35-64) - when the installer reached "Precompiling standard library" I got the error: "Python has stopped working". - clicking "check online for a solution" produces this explanation: "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer". - dismissing the error dialog leads the installer to say the installation is finished (presumably successfully); Python seems to work. (The last dialog about VCRUNTIME140.dll is unrelated -- it's what happens if I try to use Python 3.7 to run virtualenv to create a Python 3.5 virtualenv. I'll file a separate bug, once I figure out if it's a Python or a virtualenv bug.) ---------- components: Installation messages: 250722 nosy: mgedmin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows installer: precompiling stdlib fails with missing DLL errors versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25117> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
