[New-bugs-announce] [issue34232] Python3.7.0 exe installers (32 and 64 bit) failing on Windows7

[Wolfgang Maier]

New submission from Wolfgang Maier <wolfgang.maier at biologie.uni-freiburg.de>:

System: Windows7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit
Downloaded the executable installer from python.org (tried both 32- and 64-bit -> same error)

Selected the default user-install and got an almost immediate Error message: The TARGETDIR variable must be provided when invoking this installer.

Clicking OK reveals 0x80070643 - Fatal error during installation and the attached log file.

Rebooting didn't help and I also tried playing with custom installation settings, too, but no success so far.
