So far, the only installers tested is the Python 5.3.2 x86 and x86_64 installers.

When selecting customise install, the installer is unable to gather the files required, because the installer is looking for them in:
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/amd64/

Following the link will result in a 404, as the folder does not exist. This reason has been found thanks to the log file of the installation that is given upon error during the installation. (Cheers for that! :D)

The correct link is:
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/amd64rc1/

Actually, the correct link is amd64/, but it didn't upload on my second try, apparently. Or somehow disappeared...

Fixing that now.

Should be good now. Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm still getting 404s; I'm not sure if there's cache to be purged or something, but I can't see that the ...amd64/ dir exists yet, at least from a browser.  I haven't tried an actual installation.

I can independently confirm that the "amd64" directory is in the proper place, and all relevant files & directories look like they have the correct permissions.  I did that by logging in to the appropriate server and nosing around.

Also, the web link works fine too, for me:

    https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/amd64/

If I click on that I see all the various msi and msu files.  LGTM

Yep, looks fine now.  I suspect from a couple of commits that Steve just did he did in fact have to purge cache :)

Thanks, Steve!
