Which exact version?  From what source?  How did you download (from 
where) or compile?  How did you install?  How do you try to run it?

Google return 76000 hits for 'terminate@@YAXXZ', so this appears to not 
be a unique issue in some form or another.

It seems like your installed python.exe is corrupt.  Make sure you have 
a final release.  I would re-install, possibly after re-downloading from 
python.org.  If you download from anywhere else, *they* are responsible 
for getting the compile options correct.

Hello, I have the exact same issue.

I've installed Python 3.5 AMD64 from python.org (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/python-3.5.0a1-amd64.exe to be exact), and I've checked the installer MD5sum to be valid.
I've selected the advanced install to change installation directory and to precompile standard libs.
Upon finishing the installation I was displayed the message twice, the first time about python.exe, and the second about python35.dll, after which the installer finished without reporting other errors.

When launching Python 3 from the console via `py -3` I get the exact same dialogue box (twice: once for the exe and once for the dll), while `py -2` and `py -3.5-32` work with no issue (installed via seemingly the same method, but with the 32 bit installer instead).

I wanted to install an x64 version of python because I need additional memory to calculate on large numpy arrays.

Regards, -- Mateusz Naściszewski

3.5.0a1 is the first alpha version, released 7 months before the final
version of 3.5.0. Remove it, and install 3.5.1 using one of the
following installers:

Web-based
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.1/python-3.5.1-amd64-webinstall.exe

Offline
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.1/python-3.5.1-amd64.exe

Thank you, that seems to have helped. Not sure why I downloaded from an old download page.
The dialogue boxes don't appear and everything seems to be working.

Thanks again, -- Mateusz Naściszewski
