Windows has no problem with Python, either a direct installation or via 
conda although I prefer direct. However the launcher is a little 
different.

Relf didn't need to uninstall 3.6; installing 3.12 should have updated 
py.exe's configuration.

foreignapps.cpp

looks like it should have found the 3.6 anyway.
