You probably need to also select the "Install for All Users" checkbox, rather than just updating the target path. Running as admin *technically* gives you the ability to write to those locations, but it also implies that nobody except Admin should be able to access it. Choosing the proper option should do it correctly. This kind of issue can also arise when you directly delete the install, rather than uninstalling it. Best thing to do if you can is to run a repair through the Add Remove Programs entry, and then uninstall it (this is because ensurepip needs a working install to uninstall itself... not ideal, but that's how it was added). Then you should be able to do the proper install. However, if it was previously installed for All Users, then switching the option in your new install might be able to handle it. Trying to upgrade from per-user to all users seems to hit issues sometimes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45420> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
