Hi, recently I have changed my computer and I wanted to install python 3.5.2 (64-bit). The problem is that when the installation starts, suddenly appears an error:
0x80070005 - access denied
I have searched the error on the web and I found nothing.
Before anything, I also downloaded other versions of python, including the 64 and 32 versions, and it happens the same. Can someone help me?
PD: I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64 bits
This issue can be caused by the firewall /anti-virus or administrator rights.
Try with 3.6,
Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows.
I turned off the firewall and the anti-virus, I used the admin rights and I also followed the instructions of how to install python and it happens the same. Could it be something wrong with the bios, because when I turn on the computer, it doesn't appear the bios options.
Have you tried right clicking the installer, and then clicking "Run as Admin"?
Does a popup appear, asking for your authorization to allow the installer to run?
Yep, I also tried that, and it appears the same error
This will work for sure if none of them above works.

1. reset win 7 (you can keep ur file but will reinstall software)
2. after reset, do the windows update (otherwise you`ll get a 0*80070652 error)
3. reinstall again! this will work for sure.

the error you got is a permission issue, reset to factory will definitely solve that.
Please let me know if you still couldn`t fix this after this last try.

May the force be with you.
The best way to resolve this is the Switch user account to an administrator account this is the easiest way.
Thanks for the advice LEO.
