I had my work computer re-imaged this week but Python 3.6.1 is gone and I am unable to install.

I have tried to completely remove it with CCleaner and any other references I found but it still will not install.  I am installing the same version as before.

Following the advice from another post, I installed on another machine and then copied the folder onto my work machine but was unable to uninstall/repair as described.

Attached is the log file.

We'd also need the other log files from %TEMP% in this case, but I suspect we're not going to get them now.

The associated PR is not related to this bug.
