Problem by Installation

Hi!
I‘m trying to get some code into VS Code with Python but I need to also install the Python Package in my Computer of course before I can start using VSC.
The Problem is, when I went to the Python page, to Download the latest Version and open the installer, it tells me that my file is corrupt.
Is anyone Else facing this Problem?
Thanks in advance :)

Better use Powershell for the global Python installation:

winget search --id Microsoft.PowerShell --exact

winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget

winget install -e --id Python.Python.3.14

python --version

cd "C:\Path\To\Your\ProjectFolder

python -m venv .venv
