Exec: "python": executable file not found in %PATH%

I am getting the following error in Arduino IDE in Windows. A couple of other have received this error, but the fix was for ubuntu. I am not sure what I need to do here.

exec: "python": executable file not found in %PATH% Error compiling for board ESP32 Dev Module.

I am trying to use ULP co-processor on ESP32. Could it be because I added a few files on ESP32/tools in the C: drive?

Try a Google search for "how to add python to path esp32".

Thank you for your help @groundFungus.

Update:

I uninstalled python and while re-installing selected the Add Python to PATH option and then removed the max Path length. This fixed my problem

Hi, I have the same error, which version of python did you install?

This error is due to the compiler looking for Python, not Python3, which is the current version installed on most computers. How can I get the development team to address this issue?

Thanks,

GWells
