Actions Runner issue, unable to download any version of Python

137 views Asked by At

Every time I try to run a workflow in GitHub Actions I run into an issue installing Python. I have to run this self hosted runner on windows, on my own PC. I run it with full admin privileges every time. I don't know what I am doing wrong here. Here is an example with Python 11. I have tried so many different versions. I am running 3.12.1, which I have tested and does not work. I have to create a new folder each time after destroying the previous actions runner. Any thoughts?

  Version 3.11 was not found in the local cache
  Version 3.11 is available for downloading
  Download from "https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases/download/3.11.7-7098196908/python-3.11.7-win32-x64.zip"
