Issues With Anaconda Install - Failed To Create Anaconda Menus

Post a Comment
I had Anaconda version 3.5 installed on my machine but I decided to uninstall it (via the control panel) and to download version 2.7 instead. I am using Windows 7. However, I have

Solution 1:

2.5 years later, I had the same problem installing v2019.07, but the version actually doesn't matter. Anaconda has had this bug in the installer for a long time.

  • 2019.07 successfully installed on one of my dev boxes
  • 2019.07 failed to create menus on a second dev box with a very similar environment. Both Anaconda and Miniconda failed. I tried everything in this thread, and then some.

Finally I went to the download archive and grabbed 2019.03, which installed with no issues. This fixed it for me, your mileage may vary.

Solution 2:

Could you try choosing run as administrator before clicking Anaconda 3 installation? That fixed mine.

Solution 3:

I was also facing the same issue while installing Anaconda 3.5, please follow the steps below before you start installation :

  1. Delete old Python versions from your PC/Laptop
  2. Clear path variables which have created on your PC
  3. Turn off your anti virus program before you start installation
  4. If you have JDK installed on your machine, uninstall it, also delete JAVA path created in variable

Solution 4:

I was able to install from Windows Safe Mode. There were no errors during the installation.

Solution 5:

I almost spent two days running in circles trying all the solutions I could find on the Internet, but here is what worked for me.

So, CondaHTTPError aka SSL module is not available error is caused by the missing/misplacement of libcrypto file in anaconda3/DLLs folder:

Tl;dr:

From anaconda3\Library\bin copy below files and paste them in anaconda3/DLLs: 

-   libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll-   libssl-1_1-x64.dll

Detailed answer:

  1. Uninstall any Python versions you have (e.g. Python 3.7 or Python 3.8)

    go to Control Panel--> Program and Features--> Select Python--> uninstall

  2. Uninstall any Anaconda versions you might have (e.g. Anaconda or miniConda) For Anaconda:

    go to Control Panel--> Program and Features--> Select Anaconda-->uninstall

    For miniConda

    go to Control Panel--> Program and Features--> Select miniconda--> uninstall

  3. Delete any leftover Environment variables

    go to Control Panel--> System--> Advanced System settings (on left side)--> in System Properties click on Environment Variables button--> in User Variable select Path and click the Edit button--> delete any path related to Anaconda, miniConda or Python.

    E.g.
C:\Users\Bob \AppData\Local\Programs\Anaconda\...C:\Users\Bob \AppData\Local\Programs\miniconda\...

    b. If you don’t see any paths related to Anaconda, miniConda or Python; you are good to go.

  4. Reboot your machine
  5. Download the latest version of Anaconda
  6. Run the Installer; keep all the default settings

  7. Go to your anaconda3/library/bin folder:

    E.g.C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Library\bin

  8. Copy these files:

    libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll

    libssl-1_1-x64.dll

  9. paste these in anaconda3/DLLs folder:

  10. Reopen the Anaconda Prompt and test with any command that requires an Internet connection. E.g. conda update conda Or with conda update --all
