I've installed Anaconda on Windows 10, and now I'm trying to create an environment for python 3.5 using the follwoing comand: conda create -n py35 python=3.5 anaconda
Also tried: conda create -n py35 python=3.5
And I tried running as admin. Also tried rebooting. In all cases I get:

I am running Windows 7 and get a similar error when executing the update command:
conda update anaconda
and I ran as an administrator. Here is the traceback:

@maien85, @alanmitchell are you running a virus scanner or any background search processes? I want to reproduce this issue and running the same software will help with that, so if you could give as much detail as possible that would be great.

Same for me. Windows 10; 64 bit.
Cannot install/update any package or create any environment. Problem appeared out of a sudden, just updated conda after not using for a while. Fails with error like that:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda-script.py", line 5, insys.exit(main()) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\cli\main.py", line 120, in main args_func(args, p) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\cli\main.py", line 127, in args_func args.func(args, p) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\cli\main_update.py", line 64, in execute install(args, parser, 'update') File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\cli\install.py", line 407, in install execute_actions(actions, index, verbose=not args.quiet) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\plan.py", line 566, in execute_actions inst.execute_instructions(plan, index, verbose) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\instructions.py", line 137, in execute_instructions cmd(state, arg) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\instructions.py", line 60, in EXTRACT_CMD extract(arg) File "C:\Users\andre\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\conda\install.py", line 821, in extract os.rename(temp_path, path) PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\andre\\Anaconda3\\pkgs\\mkl-11.3.3-1.tmp' -> 'C:\\Users\\andre\\Anaconda3\\pkgs\\mkl-11.3.3-1'
Following methods did not help: reboot; running cmd/navigator as admin; deleting/reinstalling from scratch (many times, with different installation options).
I noticed that all unpacked package directories have read-only flag. However, I tried adding win32api.SetFileAttributes(temp_path, win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL) or os.chmod(temp_path, stat.S_IWRITE) to install.py (right before renaming), but neither worked - the error just stayed the same.

Can anyone remember the options they selected when they installed Anaconda? Looking at the folders in the backtraces, I'm guessing you all installed it for Just Me, but did you select either of Add Anaconda to my PATH environment variable or Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.5?
mingwandroid
on 16 Jun 2016
Reinstalled a few times.
Just me mainly, but tried other option as well.
Both yes for Add Anaconda to my PATH environment variable and Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.5

I've still not managed to reproduce any of the issues. Are you running virus scanners or any other file-system indexing/searching programs?
mingwandroid
on 16 Jun 2016
I have Avira antivirus. It seems, I also did not uninstall McAfee after subscription expired :-Z
I reinstalled Anaconda on another hard drive instead of system drive C:, and suddenly it could update all. Same Anaconda installer file as yesterday. However, creating new environment still fails. Installing new packages also still fails. Same error.
andreyboytsov
on 16 Jun 2016
And updates stopped working too. I was able to run "conda update --all" once, but that was it.

If it helps reproduction: it seems that conda update --all and creating environments often cause troubles, but not always do that.
Just installed Anaconda from scratch. Was able to run conda update and it kept working. Was able to install things from navigator and command line just fine. Creating Python 2.7 environment from command line failed with that error and ended up kind of half-created - visible in navigator, but had only 1 package (menuinst). Luckily, it was fixed with activate Python2 + conda install anaconda.
To summarize, both environments work for me now. Still I can assist with reproduction if necessary.
andreyboytsov
on 16 Jun 2016
I was too quick to say that Python2 environment was fixed. Had to create another Python 2.7 environment from scratch. It worked this time, but I can't remove broken Python2 environment.

@mingwandroid I am using McAfee LifeSafe. No difference when I switched both the firewall and anti-spam off.
When I installed, I chose: Just me. And clicked on yes for both options that you mentioned.
I also tried installing anaconda on a D: drive, but nothing has changed.
Not sure about any other background search processes.

Reinstalled Anaconda from scratch, then conda update conda, then replaced install.py with your file.
Error is gone. Thanks!

@maien85, I know this issue is closed and a couple of weeks old, but... by any chance do you run a virus scanner, like Windows Defender or McAfee?

Hello everyone,
sorry to revive that but I am experiencing the exact same error using the latest version of Anaconda. Given that this issue has been fixed, what was the cause of it?
Maybe some bogus file somewhere? I have installed anaconda many, many times on my computer (I dont have admin rights there) and anaconda is failing for the first time now.
randomgambit
on 25 Oct 2016
@randomgambit Perhaps, those who actually worked on that problem can correct me. As I remember, there was some problem with moving files during package installation. If it failed once (e.g. due to file being scanned or indexed at the moment), all installation failed immediately. It was fixed by adding some retry mechanisms.
Just tried 'conda update --all'. Was OK for me.
andreyboytsov
on 26 Oct 2016
thanks! but the point is, i would like to get the latest pandas version (v.19) which, for some reason, is not available when I use conda update --all.
So I type conda update pandas and I run into the error when the package starts unpacking...

The reason this came back is related to https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/3698. I messed up on the fix. Will have a PR shortly.

OH MAN! this error drove me CRAZY today ! thanks for helping! :D you will distribute a new version of anaconda?
randomgambit
on 26 Oct 2016
@andreyboytsov You have a general permissions error I think. errno 5 != errno 13
We're working on a 4.3 release that will have better messaging and (hopefully) prevent you from getting into this state to begin with.
kalefranz
on 26 Oct 2016
thanks. what is weird is that I was able to conda install fuzzywuzzy for instance. but as soon as I tried conda update pandas I ran into this weird permission errors.
randomgambit
on 26 Oct 2016
@randomgambit Some of the discussion in https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/3664 is relevant. Windows file locking is a P.I.T.A. That may be what your problem is. The problem is that virus scanners and auto-backup systems are checking out locks on conda's files before conda is done with them. Installing larger packages one-at-a-time sometimes helps. So does (gasp) temporarily disabling your virus scanner. Obviously, do so at your own risk.
Ultimately, conda just needs to hold the file lock longer and not give it up until it's actually done with the file.
kalefranz
on 26 Oct 2016
thanks @kalefranz . I will try tomorrow again with a fresh anaconda install and put the command line output.
randomgambit
on 26 Oct 2016
last, my understanding is that it has to do with the latest anaconda version and maybe pandas itself. I used the same exact computer and installation folder at least 10 times before! (behind firewall, so sometimes the easiest solution to update a package is to reinstall the whole anaconda distrib!)
randomgambit
on 26 Oct 2016
These lock problems are spurious, but I see reports often. This file locking happens at the OS/kernel layer. I wish Windows would give me a way to know and communicate to users "Norton Antivirus has held a lock on this file for the last 30 seconds and refuses to give it up." :-/

@kalefranz I tried again this morning. update --all works, but updating pandas causes an error during extraction

This is definitely the windows file lock issue. I wish I had more to tell you other than what I've already said. Conda just needs to hole these locks longer on Windows, but that's going to take a fairly invasive re-architecting of conda's internal flow. It's something we intend to do, but it's not happening by tomorrow :-/

hello everyone... I am desperate to get a new version of anaconda that hopefully fixes this horrendous bug! Basically, I cannot use conda install, which makes the whole anaconda install pretty useless.... :( @kalefranz , I know you all are super busy, but do you know when the next release of anaconda will be available? Many thanks!!

i got the error above while installing pandas on a new python 3 environment i just created. similar errors have occurred before with other packages too. previously i had to download the package(s) and install manually via pip install wheel file.
Potentially of note, I am behind a firewall that blocks most conda installs and was using Fiddler to get around it

Get the same error here, several time when I try to create a python 3 env from python 2.7 in anaconda.
First time the error came up at 2% when extracting packages, second time it broke at 90%.
Have antivirus software installed, but I've got no admin rights to turn it off. :)

I found this thread because I was experiencing a similar issue. Posting my resolution here in case it helps others. I got similar access denied errors when running conda install -c r r-essentials using the latest download of Anaconda with Python 2.7x
I installed anaconda for all users of the PC, which installed into c:\program files\anaconda2.
I determined that the error occurred because of how the installation script checks if I have rights to that directory and its subdirectories. It seems to check if my DOMAIN\USERNAME is explicitly listed as having rights. My rights had been provisioned through a group, so my account was not explicitly named in the access rights list. When I manually added my account with Full Control rights, using my own account name instead of group membership, the install ran fine.
Hope this helps some of the others who posted "me too" here.

waiting for the upcoming new anaconda release, I did zipped the "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2" folder on a computer where the update worked and I replaced it into the one where I have the above issue.
The computers are similar and everything (Python, Pandas) seems to work fine.
I know its not very clean, but what can go wrong with that? Any feedback appreciated!

While installation you may have selected All Users , now before installing or updating anything you will have to open the Anaconda with Admin privileges - it can be done by right click ---> Run as admin.
Or you can try installing the software and select Just for Me option.

I fixed this issue for myself by changing the file permissions on the folder 'C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3' to allow full control for all users.

There are no known multi-user issues as of conda 4.3.13. If you encounter new problems with conda >= 4.3.13, please file a new issue.

After a few Anaconda updates started to get
CondaIOError: Missing write permissions in: C:\Program Files\Anaconda3
Fixable by running the CMD.exe under admin rights (right click on cmd.exe and choose Run As Administrator).
This does not work using alternative shells or terminals as Cmder or mintty/Babun, etc.

@hashamMunir run the command prompt as administrator and then update or install new packages.

The reason this came back is related to https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/3698. I messed up on the fix. Will have a PR shortly.
