[google-cloud-sdk] Install fails on windows 10

[Lennart Bernhardt]

The logs shows this error message which I can't make sense of 

Output folder: C:\Users\Lenny\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK

Downloading Google Cloud SDK core.

Extracting Google Cloud SDK core.

Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK!

ERROR: gcloud failed to load: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

This usually indicates corruption in your gcloud installation or problems with your Python interpreter.

Please verify that the following is the path to a working Python 2.7 executable:

    C:\Users\Lenny\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe

If it is not, please set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable to point to a working Python 2.7 executable.

If you are still experiencing problems, please reinstall the Cloud SDK using the instructions here:

    https://cloud.google.com/sdk/

Failed to install.

I verified that it's pointing to a valid python 2.7 executable. 

Got any ideas?

The problem is still persisting

Do you have an existing installation of the Google Cloud SDK? Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling?

[Aylin Altiok]

Hi Lennart, 

Which Cloud SDK version are you installing (please try the latest one)? This could be due to PATH system variable of your Windows machine is altered and removed. 

Please see the similar issue recently that was resolved by fixing the PATH:  https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37366016 

Can you please try the steps indicated in the link and let us know if you still see it?
