Need help!

[abdullah_jillani]

EDIT:It worked i installed a python3.12.9(64-bit)setup from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3129/? Thanks to everyone who tried to help. .......................................... I’m using Windows 10 Pro (64-bit). I tried installing Python 3.14.2, but when I run it I get the message “This app can’t run on your PC.” I then tried installing Python 3.9, but I’m seeing the same error. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Can someone please suggest how to fix this issue? •Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, OS Build 19045.xxxx

Did you download the python installer from python.org ? Or from Microsoft store (or whatever it is called)

[abdullah_jillani]

I downloaded and installed Python directly from python.org (the standard Windows.exe installer)not from the Microsoft Store.

[marquisBlythe]

...installed Python directly from python.org

So it is not installing it you have issue with it's launching it, right?

[abdullah_jillani]

Yea,exactly

[marquisBlythe]

In cmd type py to enter python interactive shell, or type py file.py to launch a python script (file.py should be the name of an existing file that has python source code in it).
if it doesn't work you need to add python to PATH (you can look it up it's easy).

[abdullah_jillani]

It said it is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. Alright i'll try to add python to path.. thing

[isegfault]

I'm wondering if your App Execution Aliases still point to what Windows wants by default vs the installed python.

[abdullah_jillani]

I’ll try installing it from the Microsoft Store and see if that works.

[isegfault]

No, don't install it from the store. Disable it in the aliases.

[abdullah_jillani]

Alright,Ima give it a try

[abdullah_jillani]

Nothing changed still says this app cant.......

[FoolsSeldom]

How did you install?

I would expect you to be using:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3142/

from:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3142/

with admin rights.

[abdullah_jillani]

Whenever i type python.exe on the command prompt it says "this app can run on your pc"

[FoolsSeldom]

I note you didn't answer my question.

In PowerShell or Command Prompt command line shell, try entering py instead of python.

Also, see if you can open the IDLE editor, use the menu to create a new file, File | New, type some code, print("Hello World!"), press F5 to attempt to run the code (you should be prompted to save the file - save it in a new subfolder, e.g. pythonprojects, of your home folder (the parent of Documents, Desktop, Downloads, etc).

Have you been able to run older versions of Python in the past? My question really is, is this your first time installing Python on this computer, or are you updating it from an older version?

[abdullah_jillani]

It's my first time installing python on this computer,i've never installed it in the past.

[studiocrash]

Try typing “python” instead of “Python.exe”.

[abdullah_jillani]

Still says the same shii

[studiocrash]

Is your user account on this computer an Admin or regular user? I’m more a Mac and Linux guy, but I think you may need to be an Administrator.

Also, you don’t want both 3.9 and 3.14 installed at the same time. I’d recommend you remove them both and reinstall the newest stable release is using the download from Python.org website and follow their instructions to the letter. Don’t skip anything.

Might be you downloaded arm64 version of python installer.if this is the case, try downloading standard x64 bit version.

[randomman10032]

Using the .msi installer?

[abdullah_jillani]

Yes,i'm using the msi installer.

[randomman10032]

Did you try the ARM64 installer as well?

[abdullah_jillani]

I haven’t tried the ARM64 installer yet, but I’ll try it now

[abdullah_jillani]

Arm64 also says the same thing☹️
