I've reinstalled anaconda/python a couple times, so I'm not sure what is causing this failure to pass a registry key/value. I've successfully gotten the same version of python/vs code to run on another machine, but on this machine I'm hammering my head against the wall for quite a few hours now. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Your issue appeared just as I was submitting a new issue: [(https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/5259)].

The problems aren't quite the same - my Jupyter server launch is crashing trying to read/write from a temp.txt file - but sound as if they may be related, and in general, something to do with some background environment configuration as a jupyter is launching.

I've also been banging my head against a brick wall these last few hours (uninstalling/reinstalling VS code, python environments etc) with no luck - so will be watching any updates here with interest...

@cconw can you attach your full console output log?

Right click on the Console from the Developer Tools and do Save as.

Sounds to me like a conda activation issue. Or could be the same error that @michaelberks is having, but you might be running VS Code from a different directory.

-1555438947616.log

See attached. I think it is a conda activation issue (due to registry etc.), I just can't parse this error. Thank you much Rich.

[rchiodo]

Yeah the log doesn't give much more information. Definitely a conda activation failure though.

If you go to a command prompt and run this:

• C:/Users/Lenovo/Anaconda3/Scripts/activate
• conda activate base

It might give you more information.

activate_output.txt

If you have a thought let me know. I will try to dig through this later.

Seems like a Keras problem ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues#10635

[rchiodo]

Yep. Looks like Keras is attempting to find a registry key.
