[New-bugs-announce] [issue3820] Python 3.0b3 doesn't start on German Win XP SP3/SP2

New submission from Tim Pietzcker <tim.pietzcker at web.de>:

I have experienced the exact same thing on two different PCs, one
running WinXP (German, 32bit Intel) SP2, one running SP3: When starting
the Python command line or when trying to run a Python script, I
immediately get the (Windows) error message that python.exe couldn't be
started because it is misconfigured, and I should install it again
(which doesn't help). Uninstalling and going back to 3.0b2 works. The
MD5 checksum of the installer is correct. I'm wondering, though, why the
file size has dropped from 13 to 11 MB.
