I installed ArcGIS Pro 1 4 and it didn t register the Python 3 5 2 it installed which prevented me from installing any add-ons  I resolved this by using the  reg  command in an Administrator PowerShell session to manually create and populate the necessary registry keys values  where Python is installed in C  Python35    reg add  HKLM Software Python PythonCore 3 5 Help Main Python Documentation   reg 64  ve  t REG SZ  d  C  Python35 Doc Python352 chm  reg add  HKLM Software Python PythonCore 3 5 InstallPath   reg 64  ve  t REG SZ  d  C  Python35   reg add  HKLM Software Python PythonCore 3 5 InstallPath InstallGroup   reg 64  ve  t REG SZ  d  Python 3 5  reg add  HKLM Software Python PythonCore 3 5 PythonPath   reg 64  ve  t REG SZ  d  C  Python35 Lib C  Python35 DLLs C  Python35 Lib lib-tk    I find this easier than using Registry Editor but that s solely a personal preference   The same commands can be executed in CMD EXE session if you prefer  just make sure you run it as Administrator
