First things first: does Python itself work on your laptop's Softimage?
Does it show up in the list of Scripting Languages?

Did you install Pywin32 & the 2005 and 2008 "Redistributables"?

Read this: INFO: Python on 64-bit Vista (should still apply)
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

You are not perchance trying to install Python 3?
If you are "on 64", try using the archive mentioned at the above WIKI-page: PythonInstall64.rar.
Old, for sure, but the files should still work.

Sorry, that's a misunderstanding: you should NOT install Python 3. But after installing those files, does Python already show up in Softimage?

As you are on Softimage 2013 (sorry, missed that in your previous post),
shouldn't you just be able to simply go into the "Scripting Preferences"
and check the "Use Python Installed with Softimage (Windows Only)" checkbox?

I think you screwed up the python in softimage. re-register it with runone.bat
