Repeated on two clean install Windows hosts.
No (re)packaging, download and run/start python.
Repeated with versions 3.7.2, 3.7.1, and 3.6.8:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.1/python-3.7.1-embed
New submission from hyu :

Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'encodings'
There are two vcruntime140.dll with no binary diff.

New submission from hyu :
3.7.0 Windows embeddable zip is missing vcruntime140.dll(?)
Running python would display error about VCRUNTIME140.DLL.
Copying vcruntime140.dll from earlier 3.6.x release is a work around.
