Error while installing P4Python on windows

Question

Configuration:

Machine: windows8 64-bit
Pyhton 2.7
Environment variable:
    PATH: %PATH%;C:\Python27
    PYTHONPATH: C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Lib;C:\Python27\DLLs;C:\Python27\Lib\lib-tk;

While installing P4Python 2.7, I got following message:

There was a problem tying to get the P4Python install path.

Possible reasons are:

1) Python is not installed.

2) An unsupported version or architecture of Python is installed.

3) The folder containing the Python executable is not in the system path.

4) Another version or architecture of Python is in the system path before the supported version or architecture.

5) The P4Python install paths are not writable.

I also tried installing P4Python 3.3 and got same message.

How to solve this error?

Try this:

https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/download/guest/robert_cowham/perforce/utils/python/bin/p4python-2014.1.807760.win32-py2.7.exe

The installer from main site only work with P64-bit Python 3.3.

I got this answer from perforce forum.

I also had the same issue, then had to change to 64 bit P4Python for 2.7 and 64 bit Python 2.7 .

If you could say more from the reasons, possible reasons, it would be probably highly useful.

I suggest to completely uninstall the python 2.7 and earlier versions of python and reinstall it for 64-bit architecture. After installing goto Start->Python 2.7->IDLE would work fine
