@lebedov what is your Python version in your root conda environment?

[minrk]

Hm, I thought this bug was fixed by recent Python. The Python bug on this topic: https://bugs.python.org/issue18199

What version of conda?

[lebedov]

Could you please share this report in issue ( conda/conda#7203 ), @lebedov?

[jakirkham]

This is ultimately a conda problem that has been filed as issue ( conda/conda#7203 ). Please follow along and share info there. FWIW there is a suggested workaround for this issue. Going to close to consolidate the discussion in that issue. Thanks for reporting and sharing details.

[jakirkham]

FWIW the 9.11.1 release notes state, "An infrastructure issue caused a non-functioning msi installer for x64 to be promoted. The patch release is to ensure that all binaries and installers work as expected." This makes me wonder if this issue still exists in the 9.11.1 release. Have you tried that one, @lebedov?

[lebedov]

@jakirkham I encountered the same issue with 9.11.1.
