I last installed an updated version of python more than a year back. I am trying to download (from https://www.python.org/downloads/ ) and install Python 3.10.6 for Windows - but I keep running into problems.
1. I installed Python 3.10.6 in the default directory C:\Users\xxxxx.xxxxx\AppData\local\programs\Python\Python310 After the installation, there was no shortcut on my desktop. I thought I would just go to Python310 and create a shortcut. But I am unable to find AppData. 2. I then decided to install Python3.10.6 in a customized directory C:\program files\Python\Python310 I am being asked to verify access to this directly. I went to properties, made what I thought were the relevant changes. But I keep getting asked to verify access. My R and RStudio are installed in C:\program files. How should I proceed?
