Experiencing problems in installing mbed-CLI manually on Windows 10

@woobagooba We are still looking at this issue, but it currently appears to be related to the Python installation. Originally posted by @j3hill in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-cli/issues/883#issuecomment-482596694

Thank you for the support. I am also experiencing problems in installing mbed-CLI manually on Windows 10 (x64). I would be glad if you would allow me to comment on it, although the cause of the issue might not be the same.

I am trying installing mbed-CLI on native Windows 10. I am anxious if the error might be caused due to the change of the default setup of the newest releases of Python 3 (https://www.python.org/) for Windows.

In my PC, Python 3.8.5 (x32), git 2.12.2, and Mercurial 5.5.1 (x32) are installed and working fine. The module "pip" was separately installed and also working. Importing "sys", "setuptools", "tokenize" is successful, but the installer seems to be failing in installing mbed-CLI.

I just followed the instruction in the "Manual installation" section on the page: https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/v6.2/build-tools/install-and-set-up.html

The log was:

The log seems as it's failing installing mbed-CLI when it's importing "src.future" or resolving the path.

The installer automatically cleaned the temporary files and directories when it detected failing in the installation, then I could not trace the reasons further with the remained files.

I would be glad if you would suggest what I should have checked.
