Install source and version
Version: 26.2
Describe the bug
I am unable to run my default Python version by running python, python.exe, python3 or python3.exe. Only the exact version works, e.g., python3.14. No other Python versions are installed.
Unable to run == the following error appears:
********************************************************************************
The signature for https://www.python.org/ftp/python/index-windows.json was successfully verified.
Python 3.14.6 is already installed.
To see all available commands, run 'py help'
********************************************************************************
[ERROR] No runtimes are installed. Try running "py install default" first.
This is the output of py list:
Tag Name Managed By Version Alias
3.14[-64] Python 3.14.6 PythonCore 3.14.6 python3[-64].exe, python3.14[-64].exe
It does not matter whether I installed pymanager via the Store, WinGet, the MSIX or the MSI; the error is always the same. It also does not matter whether %LOCALAPPDATA%\Python\bin is in PATH or not.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install pymanager from any source.
- Open pymanager on a terminal and run setup.
- Run
python, python.exe, python3 or python3.exe in the same or a new terminal.
Expected behavior
The Python distribution that was just installed should be invokable via python, python.exe, python3 or python3.exe.
Additional context
These are my contents of %LOCALAPPDATA%\Python\bin:
These are my app alias settings:
