[New-bugs-announce] [issue42196] Python Windows Installation Error 0x800705aa

[shakir_juolay]

New submission from shakir_juolay <shakir_juolay at yahoo.com>:

I have recently changed my laptop and my Admin copied everything from D:\Users\sjuolay folder from the old laptop to new laptop. Both Windows 10. I had Python 3.8 64bit on the old laptop. I am trying to install Python 3.9 64bit on my new laptop. But I failed with error 0x800705aa. Attached is the log file.

Also Windows CMD is behaving strange. It does not throw any error on 'python' command but does nothing. It throws error on 'py' command.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.546]

D:\Users\sjuolay>python

D:\Users\sjuolay>py
'py' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
