I'm trying to install python3.6 on windows server 2016. I have downloaded python-3.6.6rc1-amd64-webinstall
.Followed the default setting to install it. But during installation step I got the error message as 0x80070659-This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator
. I have talked with system administrator but he is not aware of this policy. Can you please guide me to resolve this error?
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.
Note that Python 3.6.8 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier. Note that Python 3.7.1 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier. Note that Python 3.6.7 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier. Note that Python 3.5.6 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier.
Python 3.6 on windows 64-bit version installationClick on Download Windows X86-64 executable installer. Or, you can directly click on the link below to download the setup file. Once downloaded, locate the setup file under the name python-3.6. 4-amd64.exe in the downloads folder and run it.
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.
