Well I've just installed 64-bit 3.5.0rc4 via the web installer (ie this:
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/python-3.5.0rc4-amd64-webinstall.exe)
onto a machine with 64-bit 3.4.2 already installed. I went for the
default install.

It all seems to be ok and py -3.4 --version gives  me "Python 3.4.2" as
expected. assoc/ftype both look ok. c:\windows\py.exe has the versions &
dates I expect.
