I'm afraid you've been bitten by the fact that we no longer support 
Windows XP and haven't communicated this very well. We have a new 
version of the installer almost ready for release which indicates this 
much earlier (and more obviously). I'm afraid if you're on XP you're 
limited to Python 3.4 and earlier, all of which are perfectly usable I'm 
happy to say!
