[Aditya Shaw]

I was trying to install Python 2.7 on my Windows 8.1(x64) PC and got
the following error:
"There is a problem with this Windows Istaller Package.A DLL required
for this install to complete could not be run.Contact your support
personnel or package vendor."
Please help!

It may be a corrupt download.
Since you are using Windows I recommend using the installer from
Activestate.com rather than the python.org version since it includes
several useful extras for Windows users.

Try a fresh download from activestate.com and see if that installs.
