What *exact* python installer are you using, including 32 vs 64 bit?
IE, what is the file name of the installer?
Where did you get the installation file?

Are you guessing or did something 'not work'?
If the latter, what exactly did you do and what does 'not work' mean?

This works for me and for numerous others.

The reason is that this is the *standard* Windows location for programs 
installed for a single user.

32 bit apps go here, 64 bit apps go in /Program files.  If you install 
for all users, the default location is one of these.

IDLE is a collection of Python modules.  Until you can run Python, you 
cannot run IDLE.

I believe the installer has an option to install tcl/tk, tkinter, and 
IDLE -- not.  I don't know what the standard install does.  If you do a 
custom install, make sure the box is checked.
