Repeated on two clean install Windows hosts.
No (re)packaging, download and run/start python.
Repeated with versions 3.7.2, 3.7.1, and 3.6.8:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.1/python-3.7.1-embed-amd64.zip
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.8/python-3.6.8-embed-amd64.zip

Windows Explorer properly extracted: \tmp\py372, \tmp\py371, \tmp\py368.
Python 3.6.8 and 3.7.1 properly started, executed import sys; sys.exit()
Python 3.7.2 failed to start.  Please suggest proper commands if you claim these are not proper Windows commands.

Worked extra to show both 3.6 and 3.7 regressions.  If you want to claim copying 3.6.8 vcruntime140.dll to 3.7.1 as (re)packaging, then ignore v3.7.1:260ec2c36a below.  

Windows Explorer shows and 7-zip lists two vcruntime140.dll in 3.7.2.  Please ignore 7-zip if you claim that is not proper or (re)package tool and I will attach Windows Explorer screen shot.
