Your Windows XP is a problem. You have a couple of options: either
upgrade to Vista/7/8/10, or downgrade your Python to 3.4, which does
support XP.

There is also a bug, which is that the installer appears to run
successfully. When Python 3.5.1 is released (currently scheduled for
early December), the installer should detect XP early on and save you
the confusion.
