In case the executable is corrupt, clear your browser cache and download the 32-bit version again: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.8/python-3.6.8.exe Try to run the installer from an elevated command prompt. If it fails to run, check again for log files in your %TEMP% directory, which typically expands to "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp". If the installer is still not running -- not even enough to create a single log file -- then apparently something is configured incorrectly or missing on your computer that's causing it to fail hard. I'd have to run it under a debugger to find the cause. Anyway, if you're stuck with ancient 3.4, you can at least install "pywin32-221.win32-py3.4.exe" from the old SourceForge repo: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20221 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
