How do I install Python 3.6 in Python?

You'll first need to head over to the Windows download section on python.org and grab the appropriate installer. I'm going to choose the Windows x86-64 executable installer because it will be the easiest. Once you've got the installer download, simply run it, click Install, wait for a bit, and you're done.

I experienced this very same problem, and right-clicking the setup file, then Run As Administrator solved it. (Credit to @Igwilliams, who suggested this in the comments).

This was actually very frustrating for me, because I was logged in as an administrator, but apparently that still wasn't enough, I had to do the Run as Administrator thing as well.
