Hello! It sounds like you downloaded the installation for a difference
species of computer. *grin* Most likely, you downloaded something like a
.tar.gz, which is for UNIX system. Instead, you'll want to get the one
for your Windows system. Here's the link:

You'll just need to get py152.exe, and you should be set. Don't worry
about asking questions --- we're all learning here. Good luck!
