I got this working on a Windows 8.1 box with the following mess. Hopefully someone more capable than me can piece together a viable fix from this.
I downloaded and executed the Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2015 here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
I then watched that installation fail with the same error as in the python installer.
From the steps described here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/31536998
1. Copy the file "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\FC6260C33678BB17FB8B88536C476B4015B7C5E9\packages\Patch\x64\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu" to c:\temp\
(Note: the guid in the path above is not the same as in the stack overflow answer. It seems it may vary)
2. From an elevated (important!) command prompt:
>cd c:\temp
>mkdir extracted
>wusa.exe Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu /extract:extracted
(Make sure files are extracted to the new dir)
>dism.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:extracted\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.cab
3. Run vc_redist.x64.exe again, and choose repair
4. Now, I could finally install Python (3.5.1) |
