I've spent ten minutes searching for various combinations of "python", "conflict", "nppftp", "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll" etc. with absolutely no relevant hits. Would you mind telling us where you found this documentation? I did find this: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/7282/notepad-system-error-on-startup-api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0-dll-is-missing but there's no indication that this has anything to do with Python. > Since about every other admin I've ever known uses notepad++, you might > want to fix this. I'm not a Windows expert, but I can't imagine how installing Python would uninstall api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll. But if it does, then it probably shouldn't. > Also your installer fails to set the permissions correctly: > > H:\>py -m pip install requests [...] > 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. What do you mean, you gave yourself "control?" Do you mean write permission? I would expect that if you want to install to the system-wide site-packages directory, you should be running as Administrator or other user with permission to write to that directory. If you don't have write permission to a directory when you are trying to install software, of course the installation will fail. What makes you think that this is a failure of the installer? I'm not a Windows expert, but the behaviour looks correct to me. > This is pretty shoddy for released software. Well, some of us have used VMware in the past, and we could discuss "pretty shoddy" bugs all day *cough* ESXi backup bug *cough* vcenter remote execution exploit *cough* but since we're all friends here, how about instead of trying to be insulting, let's try to determine exactly what the alleged bug is so we can create a ticket and get it fixed? -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
