Windows 10 install problem - maybe

[William Plunkett]

I have been using SQLite extensively and am now moving to MySQL. I have it installed on the OS X side and all seems ok. I have gone through the Windows install and it seemed to be ok with the only exception being that it tells me Python isn't installed. I have gone through both 32 and 64-bit installs for python but it tells be it is still not there. I click to continue and MySQL appears to install. I check the services box and both the MySQL57 and MySQL router are running.

I am running windows on a Mac using Parallels. I am MUCH more familiar with Mac than with Windows...

Excuse the length below but it is the transcript of my trying to get it to connect:
