nteract on windows crashes upon startup

[Monte-Christo]

nteract crashes upon startup. Screenshot of error message is attached. I installed these .Net kernels. What am I missing?

(base) PS C:\src> jupyter kernelspec list Available kernels: .net-csharp C:\Users\EDKN\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\.net-csharp .net-fsharp C:\Users\EDKN\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\.net-fsharp .net-powershell C:\Users\EDKN\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\.net-powershell python3 C:\Users\EDKN\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\share\jupyter\kernels\python3

I reviewed the instructions below, but found them of no use to me:

Are you starting nteract from an anaconda prompt?

No. It’s a Windows application. There is a shortcut on the start menu. So you want me to get the full path and type that into an Anaconda CMD window?

This does the trick in a Anaconda PowerShell window: $pgm = $env:ProgramFiles + "\nteract\nteract.exe" ; start-process $pgm But the instructions should be clearer.

See #4957 for an alternate solution.

Thanks all. I'm closing this and we will keep #4957 open for tracking.
