You need to be more specific.  (Is 'it' the python installer or python 
program?)

1. What version of Windows, including 32/64 bit.  For pre-10, service 
packs matter (you should have the latest).

2. What installer did you download, from where?  There are, I believe, 6 
choices at python.org.

3. How did you run the installer?  Admin or normal user?  What options 
did you select.  Did the installer say 'finished' or 'error'.

4.  How you you try to run Python (if indeed you did)?  Be very specific 
here, as this may be the problem.

You see this if you open the installer after installing.  You should not 
see this if you run python itself.  You will not see this if python is 
properly installed and you run python and not the installer.
