Is this cryptic message a missing dependency of the installer or of Python. Because if it is Python surely we should be doing potential users a favour and mentioning this 3.5 vs XP (and earlier?) issue in nice human friendly prose instead of complaining about an obscure missing library file? As things stand, many users infer that they have a corrupt or broken download, not that they needed a different version of Python. Should this be raised on python-dev?

I think there are several different issues to do with Python 3.5 and Windows. Firstly support for Windows XP was dropped and 3.5 was made in a way that is incompatible with XP. However initially neither the download page nor the installer were warning XP users leading to a lot of confusion. I thought this was suppose to have been fixed in 3.5.1 though so the installer should now warn that it won't work on XP. Secondly the Windows builds of 3.5 are now compiled using VS2015 and I believe the installer itself has had something of an overhaul. This seems to have caused a number of different problems. One problem is that the newer VS2015 runtime requires the installation of some dll from Microsoft. So some users are getting error messages about a missing dll. The error message quoted above is something else though. I can't tell but it seems as if there are a number of distinct issues caused by the significant changes to Python 3.5 on Windows. > Should this be raised on python-dev? Probably better to go for bugs.python.org. There's a few 3.5/Windows issues already there. Not sure if this one's already listed. -- Oscar

The CRT update also requires service pack 1 on Windows 7 and service pack 2 on Vista. 3.5.1's installer was updated to check for a supported operating system. On an XP system the error message should be "Windows Vista SP2 or later is required to continue installation". > I believe the installer itself has had something of an overhaul. It was rewritten completely.
