(Is there a way to do that in Control Panel?) Directly running "repair" in the rc2 installer with admin says "No Python 3.10 installation was detected", error code: 0x8007064. Running from the Add Remove Programs entry prompts for admin access. Then you should be able to do the proper install.
#Python 3 install locaitogn install#
> Best thing to do if you can is to run a repair through the Add Remove Programs entry, and then uninstall it (this is because ensurepip needs a working install to uninstall itself. When the first few times didn't work, I deleted the installation directly (should have uninstalled it). Sort of, but I expected upgrading with a new directory to work. > This kind of issue can also arise when you directly delete the install, rather than uninstalling it.
#Python 3 install locaitogn upgrade#
Trying to upgrade from per-user to all users seems to hit issues sometimes. However, if it was previously installed for All Users, then switching the option in your new install might be able to handle it. Best thing to do if you can is to run a repair through the Add Remove Programs entry, and then uninstall it (this is because ensurepip needs a working install to uninstall itself. This kind of issue can also arise when you directly delete the install, rather than uninstalling it. Choosing the proper option should do it correctly.

Running as admin *technically* gives you the ability to write to those locations, but it also implies that nobody except Admin should be able to access it.

You probably need to also select the "Install for All Users" checkbox, rather than just updating the target path.

Note: I'm trying to move the installation path from Local\Programs\Python\Python310 under user dir to C:\Program Files\Python310.ĭid you delete the old installation in the old location first? The stranger thing is when I run "repair" from the 3.10rc2 installer, it's the same message & code but, if "modify" is run, the window is "A newer version of Python 3.10 is already installed", error code same. But when I run the installer with administrator permission, it says "No Python 3.10 installation was detected". Hi, I've downloaded Python 3.10 final (64-bit) from on October 6.
