Hello,

Have you tried running the command listed in the error output yet?
If yes, can you provide the error output from running that command here?

Thank you.

Running that command: -->>>>>>>>> conda clean -packages
or rather, in my case having to run -->> _conda clean -packages
does not solve my issue (same as the others here). It installed **_**conda.exe that way… (I was signed in as Admin)

Guess I’ll uninstall it and reinstall the program in a created c:\anaconda3 folder to see if this fixes everything rather than the “programdata” folder it selected on its own… install program does NOT like spaces (i.e. Program Files)

I did have programdata in the path in system environment variables.
