eryksun's analysis is correct. If the component is marked 64-bit then it will not install on a 32-bit OS. This needs to be switched for the 32-bit installer.

(I also don't see why you'd want to set the 64-bit SharedDLLs key for a 32-bit DLL. Is there some reason we need to do this?)


The default download button currently gets the 32-bit version of 3.4.1, which is the correct default even for people with a 64-bit system. Up until you realize that your script legitimately needs more than 2GB of memory, nobody needs 64-bit Python (barring external library requirements).
