You don't know what you're talking about, do you? The .zip file contain Electrum source code, not .exe/.msi installer

It's actually an installer for windows OS but to be able to install it you need a python installed in your PC.
--snip--

While it could be seen that way, i'm sure people who only use windows OS disagree. Besides, open command prompt/powershell & write an command is enough to annoy regular users.

I also don't see the point building from source on Windows when multiple version for Windows already available.

I would like to add the method here if he wants to run the wallet in python.

He should need to install the python for windows

Then after installation, open command prompt then run this command line below.

Code:

pip install pyqt5

Now install the python electrum installer command line below.

Code:

pip install https://download.electrum.org/3.3.7/Electrum-3.3.7.zip

After installation, you can use this command below to run electrum.

Code:

python run_electrum

Make sure you downloaded and extracted Electrum-3.3.7.zip then open the folder of the extracted file the run_electrum file should be there and open command prompt under this folder and run the code above.

Or you can use this command as sample location folder.

Code:

python C:\Electrum-3.3.7\Electrum-3.3.7\run_electrum

I don't know what you mean?,
Are instaling from zip file?, if yes, You must to unzip first that file https://www.wikihow.com/Unzip-a-File
then running file extensi .exe

The thing though is, all the Windows installers on https://electrum.org/#download are in .exe format. Hence we're trying to make sure that OP actually downloaded from the original source.

From earlier this year:

windows on computer

So, do as advised by the others... download and run the "Windows Installer" version (shown in the screenshot above) from: https://www.electrum.org/#download

What operating system are you using? If you're using Windows, you might have accidentally downloaded the Python version(assuming you're actually downloading from the original website, electrum.org). Download the Windows installer instead of you don't know how to use the Python version.

Where did you download it from? Make sure it's from this here: https://electrum.org/#download

Download the "Windows Installer", and double click it. Everything else should be self-explanatory.
