Version:	5.7.16	OS:	Windows
Assigned to:	Assigned Account	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
tried to install mySql using 'Developer Default' options. 

on Check Requirements screen, message "Python 3.4 is not installed"

Message on Python download site:
"Python 3.4 has now entered 'security fixes only' mode, and as such the only improvements between Python 3.4.4 and Python 3.4.5 are security fixes. Also, Python 3.4.5 has only been released in source code form; no more official binary installers will be produced."

How to repeat:
Try to install on a machine that didn't already have Python installed.

Suggested fix:
Upgrade the code to accomodate Python 3.5.x

Also - tried custom installation without Python option. At the "Installation" screen, i click the "Execute" box. I get a Error status message on every product.
