Re: Python installation
I also have a windows installation issue on Windows 10: ISSUE: I cannot select a folder to install Python in. I want to put it under Program Files. The 'installer' only wants to put it in C:\users\Lenovo\AppData\local\Programs\Python\Python310 What do I do to alter the path to something like: C:\Programs\Python310 or C:\Program Files\Python310 ? The installer I'm using is: python-3.10.5-amd64.exe - which I downloaded today. RELEVANT INFO: It is a new Win10 PC, with i5-6500 CPU, and I added the user less than a week ago the first time I used the PC since I bought it on ebay (sold by a charity). Microsoft forced me to create a user. I had to enter an email address and (local) password. I have an online Microsoft account associated with that email address, so MS validated me by texting a code to my mobile which I entered at the PC. I didn't create the UserName: Lenovo. MS did [BTW: the PC 'Host Name' is something else, but the 'System Manufacturer' = Lenovo]. This Administrator user is the ONLY login user. The account details are: Lenovo Local User Administrator BTW: Python had already been installed 2 days ago when I modified features for another program. I deleted that install before trying this new one and YES - it was installed at: C:\users\Lenovo\AppData\local\Programs\Python\Python38 On Tue, 21 Jun 2022 14:22:29 +0300, Brian Karinga wrote: >Hello, > >I hope this email finds you well. > >I have been trying to download and install the latest version of python on >my windows device.

The second page of Advanced Options has a section to customize the install location. If some vestige of the old installation lives on, so the installer thinks it's modifying an existing install rather than a fresh one, that option would be greyed out. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Though I'd recommend installing to a simple C:\Python310. If you install in the system default "Program Files" directory any updates (which may be PIP module installs) will need to be done under admin privileges. >RELEVANT INFO: It is a new Win10 PC, with i5-6500 CPU, and I added >the user less than a week ago the first time I used the PC since I >bought it on ebay (sold by a charity).

If M$ were choosing user names based on manufacturer there would be thousands of "Lenovo" user names out there, and that would not be possible for a "M$ login" (it would be possible for "local machine" logins). Furthermore, one CAN set up Windows 10 WITHOUT creating a Microsoft Domain Login. Local login accounts can be created. The only reason I have a M$ login on my machine is that they may want it for their "app store" and things like Visual Studio -- my machine, however, is not logged in using the M$ account, just my local username. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN [email protected]://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
