installation failure

[VeronicaBehrens]

Near the end of Anaconda 4.3.1 Python 2 Navigator installation on Windows (64 bit), get the error "Failed to create Anaconda menus." After "ignoring" get another error: "Failed to initialize Anaconda directories." And after ignoring that error: "Failed to add Anaconda to the system PATH." Note: I uninstalled a previous version of Anaconda about a year ago.

@ilanschnell @goanpeca I get the same error messages when I try to install Anaconda 4.3.1 Python 3 Navigator on Windows (64 bit). Any ideas how to fix this?

Which version of Windows are you using? CC @msarahan

[VeronicaBehrens]

Windows 10

Me too. Same version.

Still happening. Had a similar issue with machine names that have a space in them for Vagrant. Could this be similar? Is there a manual way to fix (adding PATH or other ENV variables?) Its obviously at the end of the process and all files are in place successfully.

Updating my comment above. As mentioned above I had a similar issue with Vagrant. This time I went ahead and modified the user name on the Windows account to not have a space (or special character like Main-Computer) Seems to have solved this problem for me.

See #732, #1775

Look like this is still a problem in 4.4.0 according to:
#2352
