Can't install python-3.7.7 on win 7

[Seallussus]

When I try to install python-3.7.7 on my windows 7 it says: one or more issues caused the setup to fail, please fix this issue...etc.

And below that it says that it needs windows 7 service pack 1. Problem is I already have it. It shows up in windows edition.

 

I even tried to reinstall it, thinking that the file I got from microsoft might give me the ability to repair or that I'm missing something. But I can't install it because I already have it.

 

Below is the logfile which has: KB2533623 update is required to continue. I'm no expert but I though to actually just download "KB2533623" When I try to run it it says "The update is not applicable to your computer" So I even tried looking online for a fix for that but even that did not work.

 

So I really have no idea how to proceed.

 

Just in case it might help. I had an old Python installation. I tried to reinstall it but no avail, and typing python in the command line showed nothing so it was not installed.

All this so I can have python, 3.4 or more, so I can get pycharm working. Anyway what can I do now to get a python up and running?

 

And as a backup plan is there any other way to get Python 3+ working on my pc?

 

Edit:
Thanks to "colonel_mortis" suggestion I was able to actually get it to work.

I see quite a number of posts around the net about this (not directly relating to python, but for the KB)

See if this can help

I don't mean to be rude.
But did you even read my post?
I tried to install that update and it won't install.
I tried looking for a fix for installing that update and even that did not work.
So again I tried it.

I'm trying to install the latest version of visual studio now.
I'll see if that works

You could install an up to date operating system.

 

Or run one in a virtual machine.

[Los Skillos]

Sorry, you can update to windows 10, if your windows 7 isn't pyrated then there won't be any watermark and it should be pre-activated, atleast that is how it went for me.

[Los Skillos]

Also try running the portable version of python and see if it works

So instead of trying to solve this particular problem you want me to get another OS completely!
Also a virtual machine would be too slow for my current system

Edit: I mean another OS version which would be a hassle on the best of days.

The solution is another operating system.

That update looks like it should have been installed by default if you are running windows update, since it is a security update (although for some reason I can't access the security advisory info) that was released in 2011. You should be able to download the right version for your computer (either 32 or 64 bit depending on the version of Windows that you have) from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2533623/microsoft-security-advisory-insecure-library-loading-could-allow-remot. If you have the right version, it shouldn't say that it's not applicable - it should either install it or say that you already have it.

you are choosing to use an outdated unsupported OS. that's your choice, but don't get angry at us for suggesting you use an up to date supported OS.

I actually did have python running on this windows before without changing anything else.
So this advice is basically. yes you have a problem.
Like you want to know of a good brand of coats to wear because your town is very cold.
So my suggestion is move to another town.
Problem solved.

The question was not about the "outdated unsupported OS"
The question was about how to solve a particular problem. It makes sense either to contribute to that or not answer.
I also consider it interesting that even before I starting getting Python ready to learn it, the first thing I would do in response to this problem is simply ignore it and just give up on a fix and go get a new OS. Also my PC is old, better get a new one.
I'd make the best programmer ever!

Thanks man. You are a life saver.
This actually did.
