I am attempting to install Python 3 from within Windows XP Professional; however I receive the following screen (there is no install button):

python install

In my opinion this is obviously an unreported error, or a rendering problem. How is this problem alleviated? If this problem can be overcome, is it a sign of additional related issues?

Sadly, any version of Python past version 3.4.3 is no longer compatible with Windows XP. They stopped supporting it all together - see 3.5 install fails poorly on Windows XP.
