By design, 3.5.2 should fail to install in Windows XP.

The Universal CRT is an OS component in Windows Vista and later.
Mohammed should run Windows Update and ensure that all recommended

3.5 and 3.6 support Vista. Each feature release of Python supports
versions of Windows that have yet to reach EOL as of the release date.

    EOL               Python Version
    ----------------------------------
    XP    2014-04-08  3.4 (2014-03-16)
    Vista 2017-04-11  3.6 (2016-12-16)

Estimates:

    7     2020-01-14  3.8
    8.1   2023-01-10  4.0
    10    2025-10-14  4.2
