I am trying to install Python 2.7 (64 bit) on Windows 10. In the middle of the installation, a window pops up saying:

Error writing to file C:\\Python

I had the same problem , this is how I solved the error :

1. click on cancel
2. go to c:\
3. create a new folder and call it python or python3

4. run the python install as administrator and choose the new folder that you just created as directory where it should be installed

5. et voila !
