Hi I was trying to use your windows version of python 3.5.1 x64.
It has a conflict with a notepad++ plugin NppFTP giving api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll error on start up. This seems pretty well documented on the web. The work around is to delete the plugin and reinstall since it borks the install. Since about every other admin I've ever known uses notepad++, you might want to fix this. Also your installer fails to set the permissions correctly: H:\>py -m pip install requests Collecting requests Downloading requests-2.8.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (497kB) 100% |################################| 499kB 875kB/s Installing collected packages: requests Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\basecommand.py", line 211, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\commands\install.py", line 311, in run root=options.root_path, File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\req\req_set.py", line 646, in install **kwargs File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\req\req_install.py", line 803, in install self.move_wheel_files(self.source_dir, root=root) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\req\req_install.py", line 998, in move_wheel_files isolated=self.isolated, File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\wheel.py", line 339, in move_wheel_files clobber(source, lib_dir, True) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\wheel.py", line 310, in clobber ensure_dir(destdir) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\utils\__init__.py", line 71, in ensure_dir os.makedirs(path) File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\os.py", line 241, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\Python35\\Lib\\site-packages\\requests' Once I gave myself control it started working. This is pretty shoddy for released software.
