[issue25144] 3.5 Win install fails with "TARGETDIR"

[Peter]

Peter added the comment:

We just hit this bug with "The TARGETDIR variable must be provided when invoking this installer" and an OK button (only) on a colleagues' machine.

We first tried https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/python-3.5.0-webinstall.exe (default options) and then https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/python-3.5.0.exe (default options plus checked add to PATH) with the same problem.

My colleague recalls having previously installed and then removed Python 3.5 on this machine (possibly a pre-release or beta version). Could anything in the registry or on left disk trigger this?
