I have downloaded too many versions of Python.

But during the installation of each of them; it gives me the following error:

One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see the log file.

0x80240017 - Unspecified error

The log file is a notepad file; and I don't know how to attach it to this post.
I have searched the word error in that file; and the result as follows:

  • You can use pastebin.com to share log details. Try to search for the error in the log file, if it is too large, and copy only part that contains the error. Commented Oct 18, 2017 at 15:45
  • It seems like the error is related to installing some of the Windows updates/components, that are required by Python. I would suggest the first thing to try to run Python installation under Administrator rights. P.S. you probably should specify the OS that you are installing Python on.

I faced a similar problem recently. I noticed that the error came when trying to run the python.msi from a remote/network location. Copy the installer to local machine and it should work perfectly.

I had the same issue with my fresh installation of windows 8.1(64x). The problem was solved by updating the Windows using Windows Update panel. Following updates were installed(I can not be specific about which of them resolved my issue) but after installation of the updates and a system reboot, the latest version of python(3.10.5) was successfully installed on my machine.
