I installed visual studio 2017 on my pc and tried to setup python3 on it. but failed with error 'Cpython3.exe.x64' failed to install. Any way to resolve this?

Though the "Visual Studio Installer" was showing error message "Cpython3.exe.x64" to install python3/python2 packages, simply install python3 for windows from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ resolved the issue. Thanks.
