NO!

%windir% means "the directory where Windows is installed", usually (but not
always) C:\Windows.  You're saying that there needs to be a py.exe in the
Windows directory - this is absolutely not true.  You might have it set up
that way on your machine, but it's not standard and absolutely not
recommended.

To the original poster: please disregard.
