Trying to Install Python via Visual Studio Installer. Python seems to be in limbo. I don’t know if it’s installed or not

I used to be able to install python.

See.

Just click Python 3 64 bit and installed.

Now no matter how many times I did that Python simply didn’t get installed.

Or did it? If I click add environment I got this

So looks like it’s already installed. But where? How do I run interpreter?

If I press alt I got a message

>>> 2+1
No interpreters cannot be started because the path to the interpreter has not been configured.
Please update the environment in Tools->Options->Python Tools->Environment Options

There is no option tools->options->python tools. There is tools ->options ->python and nothing where I can put the location of python interpreter.

If I try to create virtual environment I got this

As if python is not installed.

Annoyed, I installed python on C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python39_64

But how do I let Visual Studio know that I want to use that python interpreter?

Current interactive window is disconnected.

Visual studio installer looks like it’s installing something but it install nothing. Python should be installed on

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python39_64\

Nothing got installed there.

Basically I used to have 2 python installation. One from app store and another from visual studio.

I tried to get rid the one from Appstore but can’t. So I downloaded Microsoft uninstaller.

It turns out the uninstaller uninstall the visual studio’s python.

Latter I managed to remove the python from the app store.

Then I want to reinstall visual studio’s pyton.

I couldn’t. Tried again.

At first I saw that directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python39_64\

Have a bunch of files. But python.exe is not there.

After uninstalling and reinstalling several time, python is not even installed at all. The checkbox for python 3 64 bit is always unchecked. I can check and press modify and it will be unchecked again after I am done.

Oh I open visual studio installer as administrator
