I am not a Windows user, but this question occurs a lot.

Is this cryptic message a missing dependency of the installer or of Python.  
Because if it is Python surely we should be doing potential users a favour and 
mentioning this 3.5 vs XP (and earlier?) issue in nice human friendly prose 
instead of complaining about an obscure missing library file?

As things stand, many users infer that they have a corrupt or broken download, 
not that they needed a different version of Python.

Should this be raised on python-dev?
