It thinks you have version 3.5.5339.0 installed, which IIRC was a test build I made for some tcl changes. It's probably listed under xPython - can you see it?

As I said at the time, they should be totally independent, but I guess not. Thanks for the heads up.

I purged the xPython bits, but it still wouldn't install.

I then purged the Python3.5dev... bits.

Success!

Rather a messy fix though...

I've been unable to install Python 3.5rc3.

It progresses to installing Tcl/tk, then reports that a newer version of 3.5 is already installed, then it rolls back (slowly).

I don't know where it's finding this "newer version"; I've uninstalled the previous releases of Python 3.5.

I'm on Windows 10.

Here's the contents of the log file:
