You must provide much more information to get any help.
Are you installing on a network or an individual machine?
What version of Windows is running, including 32 versus 64 bit?
Do you have admin access to the machine?
What *exact* python installer are you using, including 32 vs 64 bit?
IE, what is the file name of the installer?
Where did you get the installation file?
Note: Python 3.6+ requires Windows Vista or later.  No XP.

Wont work unfortunately

Are you guessing or did something 'not work'?
If the latter, what exactly did you do and what does 'not work' mean?

How do i install Python in a specific folder with the custom option and be
able to use IDLE?

After you choose customize install, pick the ”Install for all users”
option then you can change the install location.

This works for me and for numerous others.

For some reason when Python is installing it stores in Appdata/Local

The reason is that this is the *standard* Windows location for programs installed for a single user.

folder. This is quite weird and when i'm trying to install Python with the
custom option to change the location (to Program files (x86)),

32 bit apps go here, 64 bit apps go in /Program files. If you install for all users, the default location is one of these.

IDLE is not to be found.

IDLE is a collection of Python modules. Until you can run Python, you cannot run IDLE.

I believe the installer has an option to install tcl/tk, tkinter, and IDLE -- not. I don't know what the standard install does. If you do a custom install, make sure the box is checked.
