I have uninstalled Python and now I cant install it anymore (error 0x800705b4). Has anybody encountered this error ? I have tried different versions but nothing works.
You can try Anaconda for Windows which has seperate environments.
The solution I would recommend though is to use WinPython, which after install is just a folder with everything you need, doesn't change a thing in your windows environment and still works great! There is also a version that comes with the most used packages already installed, give it a try!
No need to mess with environments, just use a different WinPython folder for your projects!
Got the same error after a little digging I found the below thing...It works like a charm...
First...Make sure to check the setup package for your system which is X86 or x64, download packages based on the system before you proceed, otherwise, the hack won't work. The below is explained for x64 bit windows 8.1 system with a 64 bit Python setup package use the below-mentioned setup name(.exe file) in Step1: and search in google for downloading the Python setup
Start CMD as Admin, after that
Step1: ~YourFilePath/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0
Step2:
~YourFilePath/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe
~YourFilePath stands for the location of the python-3.5.0-amd64.exe file on your PC Example: E:\Softwares\python-3.5.0-amd64.exe
now after executing Step2: the setup will run without any errors..... Cool...
The above-mentioned steps should work or else If you find any difficulties please visit here which explains the process in detail. Good Luck...

Eventually what did the trick for me was to roll back the previous microsoft update (KB4512575)
I'm actually using Python for an audio steganography project but I have some troubles.
I searched this error code on the forum, but I found things about SQL installations and not Python.
I'm trying to re-install Python 3.6.5 after an uninstall, because of a bug with pip.
I installed Python 2.7, Python 3.6.5, Python with VS 2017, before uninstall it because it wasn't working.
However, when I'm runing the installer as an administrator, hit "customize installation", tick everything excpet "balblalblabal (this requires VS 2015 or later)", and click on "install", it tells me that :
.
I realy need Python to work and I'm now stuck ...
If anybody here could help me, it would be nice !
Thanks all,
maleik.
PS : I have the log for you :*
The log link
I found this in the log file which you have attached. Try cleaning the registry with CC cleaner and give it a try. If it still doesn't work, try installing python with web installer Python Web Installed 3.6.5.

I installed python from Microsoft store after facing this problem and it magically got installed without any error as it may have directly been installed. I don't know but try if it eorks for you too.
You need to run the installation as a local administrator.
I had the same problem installing Python version 3.9 for the first time on my Windows 10, as this same problem happens to many users trying to install Python, the best solution I accidentally, just like #MANAN AGGARWAL discovered trying to check if I already had a version of Python installed on my computer by the DOS Command Prompt, was:
Open the DOS Command Prompt (cmd) and dictate "python": if a screen shows you a version, it's clearly not the first time you've installed Python, so if you want to upgrade you should try: https: / /www.delftstack.com/en/howto/python/how-to-update-python/ But if you've never installed any version of Python, the solution lies in updating your operating system to the latest version through Windows Update, and open the command prompt and type Python, or go directly to the Microsoft Store and search for Python followed by its latest version. It works without error.
** If by chance it does not automatically install on your PC after downloading, click "install on my devices" and select your computer name.
Why can't I install Python directly from the website file? Please note that when trying to install any software/applications from outside Microsoft's trusted locations, there are high chances of user settings interfering with the installation. When coming, for example, from the Microsoft Store, a chance of success is much greater, even without having problems related to User Permission Settings.
Another important thing to point out here is that installing a lot of software from outside Microsoft's trusted platforms can cause you to change some user permissions which can have positive effects with some software and negative effects with others, even with security your own system if you don't know what you're doing.
it's simple , Try Lower Version Like 'Python 3.6' but Download web install.
install it , then install last python version.
your python will update.
I've faced same/similar problem with installing Python 3.9.12 in a clean Windows 8.1 64-bit (VirtualBoxed test environment).
I thought the issue could have been fixed in a newer version of Python, but the freshest 3.10.10 fails with same issue.
The original log isn't available any longer, but luckily it is quoted in another answer, and the following line reveals the real problem:
Applied execute package: core_AllUsers, result: 0x80070643, restart: None
My log looks the same, and if you scroll the log up, you'll discover that core_AllUsers is a UCRT MSI-installer, which is downloaded from Python site (for 3.10.10 64-bit the link may look like https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.10/amd64/ucrt.msi).
If you download it manually (Python installer is smart enough to do a cleanup even if it fails, so you won't find this MSI in a local cache) and run, it will probably crash. And if it is your case, I have a simple solution - just install update KB2999226 (Update for Universal C Runtime) for your OS, which you can download from Microsoft.
I also faced the similar issue. What the trick worked for me is I installed it for the individual user (as earlier installation was for the all users).
So earlier if one has installed it for the all users then install it for the specific user and vice versa.
I know this is not the resolution of the error faced. However, this approach will install Python which is the main motive to achieve.
I encountered the same issue after installing a fresh Windows 8.1 on my PC.
I solved that by using the Python v3.9 web installation file which you can find here.
However, you can choose any other version that has a web installation file
Note: You need internet connection to use this method.
I' ve got an issue with a package I created with Python 3.5.2 32-bit on Windows 7.
I normally deploy my Python packages on Windows by using the bdist_wininst option of setuptools. This way it is very easy for my colleagues to update a package by just starting the windows installer exe. However since I changed to Python 3.5.2 I get the following error when trying to install a package:
Python version -32 required, which was not found in the registry
For me it seems that the installer is looking for a Python version named "-32" which it cannot find. Did someone come across the same problem or find a solution yet?
It looks like this is a known bug: https://bugs.python.org/issue26630.
The workaround that I discovered is to edit the executable installer manually in a hex-editor. The characters -32 appears in locations 7A5D4-7A5D6. Replace them with all NULL characters. Afterwards, the installer seems to work fine.
Obviously, this is a complete hack. Use at your own risk.
Another workaround I found in 3.6.0 (where bdist_wininst is still broken) was was to use the MSI builder bdist_msi instead.
FYI this is marked as "fixed for 3.5.3, 3.6.1 and default" in https://bugs.python.org/issue26071 (the replacement of https://bugs.python.org/issue26630).
Having some problems with Gdal installation with python 2.7 on Windows 7 32bit. I am running MSVC 2010. I have followed the instruction from the blog website
http://cartometric.com/blog/2011/10/17/install-gdal-on-windows/
The installation is fine. At the end of it, I am able to run ogr2ogr in the MS-DOS and have gotten the similar screen as listed in the blog.
However, when I am trying to use the command "import osgeo" on the Python IDLE GUI shell. A series of error message is released, reading like the following
"DLL error:.........."
I believe that this might mean that the python binding is of wrong version. I have cleared up my installation by removing the following: Python-Gdal binding, Gdal, Python 2.7
After removing them, I have retried my installation with Python 3.2.3 instead and loaded the Gdal package and python binding accordingly. However, the same error returns.
Is there any intermediate steps that I could take to verify the installation. Any other advice I could have to have the bindings installed? Or is my reinstallation method correct?
I have tried to install FWTools too. It doesnt seem to work either. I have run the Python shell from EV-shell and type in "import osgeo". Have gotten the message "no module exist...."
Thanks
Get the precompiled gdal from here:

I have some other notes on setting up postgres and postgis 2.0 here if you need it:

I am trying to get the Xdebug vim plugin to work which depends on python. Here is my environment: Windows 7 Professional 64bit, Vim 7.3. I got everything set up for this plugin, but when I hit F5 nothing happens. I found some blogs describing some additional steps to get this working on Windows. All of them stressed making sure the correct version of Python is installed correctly. I looked at the plugin code in the debugger.vim file and close to the top it checks to see if python is available and exits if it is not. I inserted an echo command to tell me if python is not installed, and sure enough a message box pops up informing me of such. Here is the modified code:
if !has("python")
echo 'python NOT loaded'
finish
endif
According to this blog http://phphints.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/add-debug-support-to-vim/ I need to install the version of python that includes the dll vim is looking for when I run the version command from vim. Mine reports:
-DDYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL=\"python27.dll\" -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL=\"python31.dll\"
So I installed the 64 bit version of python 2.7.1. Same result even though python27.dll is in the System 32 folder. I also tried adding the location of python.exe to the PATH, but this did not help. I also tried installing the 64 bit version of python 3.1.3 but this did not help. Any ideas?
I made the following changes, and now python is working (The conditional echo statement is never reached). I uninstalled Vim and re-installed it. I uninstalled the 64 bit versions of Python 2.7.1 and 3.1.3. I installed the 32 bit version of python 2.7.1.
I am guessing the change that made the difference is using the 32 bit version of Python 2.7.1 since I am using the 32 bit version of Vim. What do you think(leave a comment)?
This may not be the direct solution to your problem, but you need to make sure the vim executable compiled with Python support.
You can check what options are compiled by running :version in the vim command line.
Also, as far as I know, python3 support only added after vim7.3. If you have vim7.2, your best bet is to get python 2 working.
