I found the following errors on Event Viewer.

I found it's the "D:\code\python\windows-python-installer\cpython\Tools\msi....\PCbuild\win32\python.exe" binary could not run. And if I replace python313.dll with the offical one, then it worked.

It's really strange. I didn't change any lines of code of v3.13.0rc1 tag.

python313.zip
