I just had problems trying to install the 32-bit rc1 (see thread in py-dev; I think it's now "solved"). Here's what Windows Event Viewer said: ''' Product: Python 3.4.0b3 -- Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: RemovePip, location: C:\Python34\python.exe, command: -m ensurepip._uninstall ''' Not sure why the installers are complaining about 3.4.0b3...? Pip seems to be figuring into these glitches, somehow...? (Note that both Terry and I are longtime Windows users, so likely we're both using our own procedures which *have* worked for years.)
