You need to be more specific. (Is 'it' the python installer or python program?)
1. What version of Windows, including 32/64 bit. For pre-10, service packs matter (you should have the latest).
2. What installer did you download, from where? There are, I believe, 6 choices at python.org.
3. How did you run the installer? Admin or normal user? What options did you select. Did the installer say 'finished' or 'error'.
4. How you you try to run Python (if indeed you did)? Be very specific here, as this may be the problem.

have to either uninstall it, repair it or modify it. However, I've tried all of them and it still doesn't work.
You see this if you open the installer after installing. You should not see this if you run python itself. You will not see this if python is properly installed and you run python and not the installer.
