New submission from Armen Levonian: For some reason, after uninstalling Python 3.5.2 on my Windows 10 (64 bit - latest version), I am no longer able to install any new version of Python after version 3.4.3
I keep getting the failure to elevate privileges. I have of course tried to run the installer as Admin, or even launch a command prompt as admin or powershell as admin then run the installer with no luck. Disabling Windows Defender did not help. I have also lowered UAC all the way down, to no reporting, still no luck. The log file attached is for the 64 bit installer for 3.5.3 but I get identical results with the 32 bit installers for version 3.5.2 and 3.5.1. I can install latest Anaconda and also Python 3.4.3 without issues. I also had no problem installing 3.5.3 on another of my machines with same Windows 10 (64 bit) and that machine accepts the install without issues. Once again, I had version 3.5.2 running fine until I uninstalled it to upgrade. ---------- components: Installation, Windows files: Python 3.5.3 (64-bit)_20170302121038.log messages: 288834 nosy: alevonian, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Error 0x80070003: Failed to launch elevated child process type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46690/Python 3.5.3 (64-bit)_20170302121038.log _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29702> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
