Failed to initialize conda directories

Can someone help me, when installing anaconda on my windows 11, in the middle of the installation process the following error appears: “failed to initialize conda directories”. I ignored and continued the process because it was the only option that allowed the installation to continue. At the end, the anaconda browser does not launch. I’m really a beginner.

Hi Daniel,

You need to check that your system has the space requirements to run the program.
I would also ensure your system matches all the software requirements before moving ahead and downloading.

Now, you will need to uninstall, resolve the system issue and then reinstall. FYI: Ensure anaconda is properly uninstalled before attempting to reinstall. Do a system search.

Hope that helps.

Good day, did you by any chance manage to solve this error. I am facing a similar challenge as well.

Good day, try to execute .exe as administrator. I do that and works.
