conda update anaconda "OSError" from "menuinst" on Win8.1 using msysgit #875
Comments
That hex code is an HRESULT from trying to save the file. In [2]: bin(0x80070005)
Out[2]: '0b10000000000001110000000000000101' According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HRESULT and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx, the error is ACCESS IS DENIED. This either means you don't have the permissions you need to write to Were the shortcuts created correctly? |
No, the links weren't created. It says the directory in question is owned by BUILTIN\Administrators |
But as I've since discovered, there are actually several issues with the way things work from msysgit with Anaconda. The question is how prevalent Anaconda + msysgit is. If I had to guess, I'd think it was pretty common. PowerShell and cmd.exe are uninspiring environments to work in, and anyone stuck with Windows but wanting Unix-like CLI is probably going to be using msysgit (or perhaps Cygwin). |
See #747: I believe that is the true root of this problem, so closing this issue. |

exceptions frommenuinst
. Trace of commands and output below.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
