First question: Where did you download from? What file did you get?

(First and a halfth question: When you say "won't install", exactly
what do you mean? Error message? Hard drive exploded in a fiery
inferno? Your boss tapped you on the shoulder and said "Kill that
process"?)

Secondly, do you have a tool for checking the MD5 hash of a file?
Compare the file you have against the official checksum:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-340/

I'm slightly surprised the python.org installers have MD5s and not
something more cryptographically secure; there are GPG signatures, but
it takes a bit more fiddling to check those.

Finally, take the simple approach: Re-download the file, straight from
python.org, and see if it happens again.
