Unable to install Anaconda on my Windows 11 64-bit PC

Question

I am getting the following error while installing anaconda on my Windows 11 machine.

I have already tried the below steps, but it still doesnt seem to work:

1. Uninstall any previous Anaconda or Python installations.

2. Download the latest, 64-bit Anaconda version from its official site.

3. Temporarily disable antivirus software.

4. If the system path environment variable is too long (>260 characters), shorten it.

5. Run the installer as an administrator.

6. Make sure disk has sufficient space for the installation.

Are there some pre-requisities for installing anaconda? Some librarires or files that probably I might have inadvertently deleted from my system or the path variable which I might have messed around in the past, that is now impacting my installation process?

Just to let you know, my system is:

1. 16 GB RAM,

2. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz

3. 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

Answer 1

you can follow this approach

uninstall Anaconda if you have installed it previously and remove any related folders e.g., C:\Users\xxx\anaconda3

Download the latest version of Anaconda.

Install it to a short path without spaces, e.g., C:\Anaconda3

Adjust Environment Variables: Search Environment Variables on your PC. Edit the Path variable in System Variables. Add C:\Anaconda3 & C:\Anaconda3\Scripts

Restart your system and open CMD as administrator and type conda --version
