Hi all,

I just reinstall anaconda navigator to my PC and am having a little issue to load it.
Appreciate if can point where it went wrong, thank you in advance!

Nice to meet you.

The cause is simple, as you can see in the last line, the DLL for Windows 32bit has been installed even though it is Windows 64bit.

To avoid this problem, instead of the following URL

https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2022.05-Windows-x86.exe

Please use the following URL.
https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2022.05-Windows-x86_64.exe

Regards, you.

Hi ktsh.tanaka.2020,

The suggestion does not work.
I am using 64bit anaconda on a 64bit pc.
And have repeatedly install/uninstall anaconda.

My best guess is, that you have previous installs of python and/or anaconda that have left pieces of themselves behind. You should at least check your PATH variable and try to eliminate previous install directories.
