Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

!paste -- Send it here (you might have to send it in parts, logs can be quite large)

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

Alright. So it detected 3.12, it might be confused due to that.

#

The fact it's a beta may have something to do with it, although I doubt it.

#

Are you running the installer as admin? It's failing when installing the interpreter outright with a vague error.

Sure.

#

strange bane Sure.

Should i select any of the things at the bottom?

#

or does it not matter

Leave the first checked. You can check the other one based on preference (it will still be available with the py launcher regardless)

That is so weird.. The one time it wants to work is now

#

Thanks for the help, theres still one issue but its not completely python I dont think

#

Do you know what would be causing this?

That I'd have no idea. It looks like a PyInstaller executable and, since that bundles its own python, it's probably unrelated. You'd have to look at where you got the exec from.
