Yes, that's where a python.org install normally goes. If you are
changing the system paths, that location is the one to use. But if
that's the location that the system links Python.File to, it should
launch without a problem. Maybe you should remove the path steps you
added previously and see if that clears up the problem.

First, though, try to run python using the absolute path you have just

BTW, it's always a good idea to run pip using the python install that
you will be running.  So if "python" runs the right version, then invoke
pip this way:

This will make sure you use the version of pip that goes with your
version of python, just in case there are other versions somewhere on
the computer.
