I am trying to install/use Anaconda on my pc with Windows 10. After installation, Anaconda will not launch. If I enter anaconda-navigator in the Anaconda Command Prompt i receive the error included at bottom of post. I tried to update conda to resolve using conda update conda, conda update anaconda-navigator, anaconda-navigator --reset all of which render “environment variables: conda info could not be constructed. KeyError(‘pkgs_dirs’)”.
I tried conda info to find the .condarc file but received a DLL error.
I tried adding anaconda3\Scripts to path but that hasn’t helped.
Here's a pic of my path vars if it helps:
–DLL error msg
