Dear Python staff, I am trying to install the latest version of Python 3 on my machine, in which I already have Python 2.7.3 installed. I did this by downloading the installer from the 'Download Python 3.5.0' button from https://www.python.org/downloads/. BTW, the installer installs the 32-bit Python version.
The installation seems to run smoothly, but when I try to then open Python (by running "py -3" from the command line or opening the Python 3 IDLE) I always get this message: > the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll is > missing from your computer. I have trying a few times via the installer to repair the installation, uninstall & re-install and restart my computer between the installations. I also ran Windows updates and tried installing with the Python 3.5.0 Windows x86-64 executable installer ( https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe) instead, with the same results. My machine details are: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 System Type x64-based PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz, 2001 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. A02, 2/3/2011 SMBIOS Version 2.6 Do you know how this can be solved? Thanks a lot for your help! Gilad Mayani.
