For some reason, my Python installer won't run properly. When I click install, after DISabling PIP in the installer (And with pip on), it tells me the following: "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete cannot be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Can anyone help me here?
I really need Python for school, but my laptop won't run this properly.
If it's to do with my specs, they are this:

Laptop: Dell Latitude E6230 (Non-SSD)
Core: Intel i5 Processor

PLEASE HELP!

Can you run the following command and then post the log.txt file it generates:

msiexec /l*vx log.txt /i <path to the Python MSI>

I attempted to install on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and had the same problems. I thought it might be proxy since I'm behind a firewall, but setting the usual values did not allow the program to overcome whatever it is that PIP is having problems with.

here's the log at the failure point:

Action: UpdatePip, location: C:\Python27\python.exe, command: -m ensurepip -U --default-pip

Action ended 11:10:30: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

To get this to install, during the installation, disengage entirely PIP, it's default is to install it.

Closing as 3.4 and 2.7 are no longer maintained and the installer was rewritten for 3.5.
