Windows search doesn\'t find an anaconda navigator program but in C:\\Users

Answer 1

I managed to solve the issue by doing the following:

1. Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 redistributable (x64) - 14.25. 28508
2. Add file: msvcp140.dll (follow tutorial in youtube)
3. Add file: msvcp140_1.dll

Answer 2

The exact thing happened to me the yesterday.

1. Uninstall the new anaconda installation.
2. Delete all the conda, anaconda files and folders on your computer. (They are located inside the C:\Users\<yourusername>, C:\Users\<yourusername>\Appdata\Local and C:\Users\<yourusername>\Appdata\Roaming folders).
3. Restart your computer.
4. Download the appropriate Miniconda installer.

The fix is in the latest Miniconda installers:

64-bit:
https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe

32-bit:

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86.exe

https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Windows-x86.exe

source

5. Install it using the suggested settings.
6. Run the start menu shorcut Anaconda Prompt.
7. Execute the command conda install anaconda anaconda-navigator.

Hopefully this will solve your issues (it solved mine).

I would suggest against having Anaconda in your PATH because it is designed to run inside an environment and having it run separately (outside the environment) might mess things up.
