I am unable to install Python 2.7.14 on my Windows 7 PC. Using python-2.7.14.amd64.msi . The installation hangs at the "Publishing product information" step. Subsequent installation attempts result in the message "Python 2.7.14 (64-bit) setup was interrupted. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again. Click the Finish button to exit the Installer." I need to be able to make this work! With this version of Windows and this version of Python. Help!

Hi Bob, Your best option to get timely help information about installation is to visit one of the support channels for Python: - python-help mailing list https://www.python.org/community/lists/ - #python IRC channel https://www.python.org/community/irc/ First, make sure that your system is a 64 bit system. The installer that you reference will not work if you are using a 32 bit system. Double check that you have all Windows updates installed. Try the help channels mentioned above or try to install `Windows x86 MSI installer` found at https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714/ You can also try a third party distribution such as Anaconda.
