Hi;
I've spent several hours over two days unsuccessfully trying to install Python.
I am trying to install it on a desktop computer running on a Windows10 64-bit /
AMD CPU platform.
I have tried installing various versions.
I have also tried downloading Python from other websites, aside from python.org.
I have tried different sequences of steps.
For example, I have tried selecting Downloads > Windows > Python 3.85 from the
.org download webpage.
Alternatively, I have tired specifying 'Windows x86-64 executable installer'
under 'Files'.
Whatever I try, whenever I click on the phyton.exe file, Python seems to
install, but only ultimately displays a Modify Setup screen.
I have tried the modifying and repairing options, but they all just lead to the
same Modify Setup screen.
A message always say to contact pyton.org if the issues continue.
So, that is what I am now doing.
I can't think of what else I could try.
Any suggestions?
So you ran "python-3.8.5-amd64.exe"? That's the installer.
By default it installs into
"C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38".
In that folder is "python.exe", which is the version of Python that
opens a console (Command Prompt) window.
