FAILURE TO LAUNCH

I just tried to run SALOME 9.9.0 installed from downloaded SALOME-9.9.0.exe under windows10. After setting VC_redist.x64.exe installation was successful. However, when tried to execute program for the first time, it crashed with following message on black screen :
" Fatal Python error: Py_initialize : unable to load file system codec
File " C:\python25\lib\encdings_init_.py" , line 120
raise CodecREgistryError,
SintaxError: invalid Syntax

Current thread 0x00003700 ( most recent call first )

Then white windows popup with message : Python has stopped working " and underneath A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available

PLEASE ADVISE AND PROVIDE SOLUTION AIF POSSIBLE

Thank you in advance

from the error message, it seems that there is a conflict with a local installation of Python.
can you share:

  • SALOME installation directory name
  • output of %PATH%. To have this information, simply start a cmd terminal by typing cmd and type echo %PATH%
