RE: Python installation not full and python not working 3.11.0

[Jan Vasko]

Hello all,


I would like to ask you for help. I have been using Python 3.8 for almost 2 years and I decided to update to 3.11. Initially everything was correct. But at some point Windows shows me that Python is being reinstalled (I don't have a message print screen ..), but from that time I cannot run Python at all on my PC.

So I tried to reinstall it several times with no success. All the time I receive this "The system cannot find the file C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe."
But files are there:
[cid:image0...@01D953B0.4E12E170]
Even when I try to run "python.exe" directly I receive this error:
[cid:image0...@01D953B0.4E12E170]

System Variables are right (added it to both PATH):
1) User Variables:
[cid:image0...@01D953B0.4E12E170]

2) System Variables
[cid:image0...@01D953B0.4E12E170]

Strange thing is that after RE-Installing Python the "pip.exe" is missing in subfolder "Python/Scripts/" (it is simply empty - not installed but I mark pip to be installed):
[cid:image0...@01D953B0.4E12E170]

I tried also Repair - no success.

Details:
System: Windows 10 (21H2)
Python: 3.11.0 (full 64bit installer from python.org)

* Downloaded from: Python Release Python 3.11.0 | Python.org<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3110/>

cmd:
[cid:image0...@01D953B0.4E12E170]

This is resulting that I cannot use interpreter in VS Code and continue development. Any one Any Idea? Thank you

I suggest that you check to make sure that your system hasn't been
damaged or corrupted - just to make sure. You can check it and have
Windows restore any of the OS files if they have been damaged. If
everything is OK, then that would remove one potential issue, so it's
worth doing. It may take some time, but it's worth doing.

Here's what to do. First, open a console with administrative privileges
- the easiest way is to press <Windows key-x> and choose "Command Prompt
(Admin). In the console, run

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

(see
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000122035/how-to-use-the-deployment-image-servicing-and-management-tool-dism-to-repair-the-windows-system-store)

If repairable problems are found, then run:

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Finally follow up by running

sfc /scannow

sfc can also repair some errors, and some people run it first, but I
have read that it's more useful to run Dism first.

If any errors were found and corrected, reboot and try to uninstall
Python3.11, then re-install it.

If no errors were found, report that back here and we'll try to go on
from there.

If it were me, the next thing I'd try is to install Python 3.10.x. I'd
get a 64-bit installer from python.org. Yes, I know you want to install
3.11, but this way will give you a clean, fresh installer to try. If
the installation succeeds, it would be a good data point and also give
you a (somewhat) updated version of Python on your system.
