A little knowledge helps. An upper word of 0x8007 indicates a COM HRESULT error (0x8000) that originated as a Windows error (facility 7). Se we know that the lower word value of 0x0570 is a common Windows error code that can be found in the following list: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681381 You'll find that it's ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT, i.e. the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. The most likely cause is a bad download. I wonder whether the OP used the web installer, which downloads components as required. If there's something dubious about the way it downloads from python.org, that would explain the relative frequency of this error for 3.5 installs. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
