Just downloaded and try to install the Python 3.5.0 .exe installer on Windows 8.1 Pro, which unexpectedly failed to install and crash on this error
Error 0x80240017: Failed to execute MSU package (according to the logs)
Then tried the older 3.4.3 .msi installer which worked for me. My guess it's about the new .exe installer.
