Hello,
I am trying to install/use Anaconda on my pc with Windows 10.
After installation, Anaconda will not launch.
If I enter anaconda-navigator in the Anaconda Command Prompt i receive the error included below.
I tried to update conda to resolve using conda update conda, conda update anaconda-navigator, anaconda-navigator --reset
all of which render “environment variables: conda info could not be constructed. KeyError(‘pkgs_dirs’)”.
I tried conda info to find the .condarc file but received a DLL error.
I tried adding anaconda3\Scripts to path but that hasn’t helped.
Please advise.
Thank you
–DLL error msg
