I have experienced the exact same thing on two different PCs, one
running WinXP (German, 32bit Intel) SP2, one running SP3: When starting
the Python command line or when trying to run a Python script, I
immediately get the (Windows) error message that python.exe couldn't be
started because it is misconfigured, and I should install it again
(which doesn't help). Uninstalling and going back to 3.0b2 works. The
MD5 checksum of the installer is correct. I'm wondering, though, why the
file size has dropped from 13 to 11 MB.

Did you install it for all users, or just for yourself?

Ah, it seems that this installer is lacking the MS CRT. This should be
fixed in the release candidate.

OK, thanks. I have set it to install for all users, if that's still
relevant. Is there a way to manually install the MS CRT (which version),
so I can use b3 until rc1 comes out?

Thanks,
Tim

There is a stand-alone installer for it, but I don't have the time to
google for it right now (it was announced in earlier alpha releases,
when the CRT wasn't included - it has "redistributable" in its name).
Notice that this installer is not uninstallable

Alternatively, you can install 2.6 first.
