in the picture above you can see that my active python installation failed. I browsed to that directory and saw that the file stated in the picture exists. Please help me. If you want more information then reply back.
i downloaded the default installation provided by activestate. Please help me.
Hi @nazibalalam
Thanks for writing!
Did C:\Python38 directory already exist when you started the install process?
Are you able to install ActivePython to a directory that doesn’t already exist? Here are instructions: https://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.5/get/windows/#specifying-a-custom-installation-directory
No i didn’t have that directory created it didn’t exist previously
Hi @nazibalalam,
Are you able to run the installer as an administrator? To do so, open the installer program by right-clicking, and then selecting “Run as Administrator”.
Does this fix things?
Alternately, were you able to install ActivePython to a different directory?
Cheers!

I did run it as admin. I tried C:\Python38, C:\Program Files\ActiveState\ActivePython.
