Hello,I downloaded and tried installing Python 3.8.0 on my windows 8.1 PC from the websitewww.python.org/downloadsAfter the 32-bit version was automatically downloaded and I successfully installed same (even though my PC has a 64-bit CPU), I tried opening the installed program and I got an error message essentially saying that a certain “ms crt file” with a dll extension was missing from my computer and as a result the program would not run. kindly assist me through the proper download and installation procedure as I really need to start learning coding with the Python programming language. Many thanks for the good work.
If it's complaining about this "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll", then you need the Windows Universal C Runtime: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48234 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
