[Tutor] [OT] Re: Need help in learning Python

[Carlos Monge]

Ok, this may have been a fatal error on my part but I decided to start
fresh and uninstalled my old version of Python. Now when I try to reinstall
I get these error messages..


Setup failed

one or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then
retry setup. For more information see the log file.

0x80070643- Fatal error during installation.


I don't understand what the problem is because it is supposedly installing
to=
C:\Users\cmongeoroplate09\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32



I also get another error message that says:

The TARGETDIR Variable must be provided when invoking the installer


I don't know what's happening.
