You're getting that response because you are re-running the installer
rather than running python.

Take a look at
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/interpreter.html#invoking-the-interpreter

There is a section explicitly for Windows.
Whoever asked you to download python has made the incorrect assumption that
you could figure out what to do. That's not your fault. You might want to
tell them about your experience and ask them for guidance.

regarding email list etiquette: note that I have trimmed all the excess
from your post and have responded in line rather than what we call Top
posting.

Please feel free to post here telling us what you've done and what that's
gotten you. We are here to help and we are also volunteers which means we
help as we can.
