Python fail to install on windows 8.1

-1

I'm currently learning web development with Python and Django. But the hard disk of my system failed and it has been replaced. I then tried to reinstall the Python but it fails to install. This is what I get as response:

"One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. 0x80240017 - unspecified error".

What does this error mean?

python

Make sure Windows is updated. Some have had the same error here. If that does not work please update your answer with more information such as: the installer log, the windows event log (related items only if you could), and try rebooting/re-downloading the correct Python version for you. Also, what version of python are you using?
