Please what can I do or should I just install the 2.7 version? What does the error message say exactly? Which file is missing? Just guessing but is it complaining about a file called "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll"? If so then you need to install this file in an update from Microsoft here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226 Afterwards you should be able to install Python 3.5. Alternatively you can install Python 3.4 which does not need this dll. -- Oscar
