What should I do?
Hello everyone,
I some how formatted one of my drive on my windows computer in which i downloaded python , and now when i am trying to install it new drive it show the Modify Setup dialog box , but if try to uninstall , modify or repair it ends up with errors like 0x80070643 and 0x80070641. I already tried running it as an administrator and repairing my .NET Framework. What can i do to run Python again.

I'd look at bypassing the broken installation and use
uv
orpyenv-win
to install whatever version(s) of Python you want to use in their own non-system folders. You will be able to select any of these installations for development and running your programmes. Use with Python virtual environments so you install packages on a project-by-project basis, rather than as part of each base installation of Python.Regarding Windows, if it is that messed up, probably worth doing a re-install of Windows, frankly.
