On behalf of the Python development team, I'm delighted to announce
the first release candidate of Python 3.4.
To download Python 3.4.0rc1 visit:

I installed 64 bit 3.3.4 yesterday with no problem. I reran it today in
repair mode and again, no problem.
With 64 bit 3.4.0, I get
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program
required for the install to complete could not be run."
No, the generic message does not bother to say *which* program :-(.
34 bit 3.4.0 installed fine. I redownloaded 64bit 3.4.0 and install
gives the same message.
Can someone verify that this is not some bizarre glitch on my machine?
I downloaded and installed it without problems on a 64bit Windows 7 system.
Maybe it is a bizarre glitch on your system, or perhaps it assumes
something is present which is there on my system and missing on yours.
As I noted in response to David, starting completely clean allows 32 bit
version to install, but not 64 bit version.
I see that part way through the install it downloads setuptools/pip from
pypi. Did your system have network access?
Enough to post the original message ;-). And yes, A box came up asking
about that and I said yes.
What happens if you enable the installer log by running:
msiexec /i python-3.4.0rc1.amd64.msi /L*v logfile.txt
A megabyte file with nearly 7000 lines
Does it put any useful messages in logfile.txt?
'error' occurs on 40. most are like the following
