I just installed Python 3.9.0b5 using the provided beta installer python-3.9.0b5-amd64 on a Windows7, 64bit machine. I did the installation without the Py Launcher update, into the folder "c:\python39" The installer finished without problem. Running "cmd.exe", navigating to "c:\python39" and then running python.exe results in an error message popup which tells me in German system language that the "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" is missing on the computer. I googled for it and it seems that this dll is not a part of Windows 7. Message: --------------------------- python.exe - Systemfehler --------------------------- Das Programm kann nicht gestartet werden, da api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll auf dem Computer fehlt. Installieren Sie das Programm erneut, um das Problem zu beheben. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- |

Changed "component" from "resource" to "crash" because it seems to fit better. |

Microsoft ended extended support for Windows 7 back in January of this year, so Python 3.9 does not support Windows 7, in accordance with PEP 11 [1]. I'd expect the installer to fail on unsupported versions of Windows. [1]: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#microsoft-windows |

I thought we already made it fail? (Checks) No we did not. Guess I misremembered that. I'll fix this tomorrow. We need it, or else we'll be inundated with these reports for the entire life of 3.9. |

Leaving this open until we can validate on the next release. I don't have convenient access to old versions of Windows anymore (and don't have time to deal with inconvenient access this week). |

"Leaving this open until we can validate on the next release". You should be able to do it now, Steve. |
