I am running Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. I have admin access if needed.
I have successfully installed Anaconda many times in the past. I have a short course I am running very soon and I have been planning on using Anaconda. If this happens for the students the course will go very badly.
I downloaded Anaconda3 2023.03-Windows-x86_64 and attempted to install it. At the end of the install the GUI says:
ERROR: conda.core.link:_execute(740): An error occurred while installing “de…”
Rolling back transaction:…working … done
LinkError: post-link script failed for package defaults::scikit-learn-1.2.1-py310hd77b1…
location of failed script C:\Apps\Anaconda3\Scripts.scikit-learn-post-link,bat
After this, the C:\Apps\Anaconda3 directory does NOT have a Scripts directory and nothing has been installed.
How is this happening? How can I fix this?
Here is the end of the log:

I am begging to think Anaconda sucks! I tried installing it over and over on my Dell running Windows 10 as well.
My Question:
“why does anaconda say it ‘installed successfully’ when it does not and has errors in the install details?”
On my last attempt, I tried to do a conda install on a text-gen and the Anaconda Prompt cmd said, conda is not a recognized application!
There has got to be a much better solution for Windows 64 then Anaconda! smh
