Installing Python 3.8 on windows 7 32bit with SP1

Question

I can\'t install Python 3.8 on windows 7 32 bit with SP1 error Log says detected windows 7 sp1 without kb2533625 and I searched for this update all day but found no

Answer 1

To install Python 3.7 or 3.8, in windows 7 operating system, you need to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 first and then Update for Windows 7 (KB2533623) (if not installed already).

Your system is missing the Update for Windows 7 (KB2533623), hence in your Python installation log file it is showing detected windows 7 sp1 without kb2533625, although it should have been detected windows 7 sp1 without KB2533623, I think this is a mistake from Python developers.

Go to: My Computer -> Properties and check the System Type. If it is 64-bit Operating System:

1. For Windows 7 Service Pack 1, download the file windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe from Windows7 Service Pack-1 download page
2. For Update for Windows 7 (KB2533623), download it from this link of Microsoft's official website

If your OS is 32-bit:

1. For Windows 7 Service Pack 1, download the file windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe from Windows7 Service Pack-1 download page
2. For Update for Windows 7 (KB2533623), download it from this link of Microsoft's official website

Answer 2

I think this is typo from Python Developers the update is kb2533623 not kb2533625 and you can download it from here then restart your machine and try to install python 3.8 or 3.7 it will work like a charm
