Got the same error after a lot of research I found the below thing...It works like a charm..100% worked for me

First...Make sure to check the setup package for your system that is X86 or x64, download packages based on the system before you proceed, otherwise, the hack won't work. The below is explained for x64 bit windows 8.1 system with a 64 bit Python setup package use the below-mentioned setup name(.exe file) in Step1: and search in google for downloading the Python setup

Start CMD as Admin, after that

Step1: ~YourFilePath/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0

Step2:

~YourFilePath/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe

~YourFilePath stands for the location of the python-3.5.0-amd64.exe file in your PC Example: E:\Softwares\python-3.5.0-amd64.exe

now after executing Step2: the setup will run without any errors..... Cool...

The above-mentioned steps should work or else If you find any difficulties please visit here which explains the process in detail. Good Luck...

You can try Anaconda for Windows which has seperate environments.

The solution I would recommend though is to use WinPython, which after install is just a folder with everything you need, doesn't change a thing in your windows environment and still works great! There is also a version that comes with the most used packages already installed, give it a try!

No need to mess with environments, just use a different WinPython folder for your projects!

Eventually what did the trick for me was to roll back the previous microsoft update (KB4512575)
