tried installing multiple versions of 3.6 on windows. the installation works. However, when trying to put python --version in the command line of powershell, i get a pop up that says python has stopped working.

i get this message while using git bash $ python C:/Users/simrash2000/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python36/python.exe: error while loading shared libraries: api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This probably means that your system failed to install the C Runtime, but not badly enough that it actually reported an error. First try rebooting, and if that doesn't work then search for the VisualC++ 2015 Redistributable installer and run that.

Is there anything more we can do on this or can we close it?

At this point, this isn't a helpful bug report anymore.
