Hello. I have same issue. I am running Anaconda Prompt as administrator and I can't use any conda command:

example with "conda info":

(C:\USERS\AGD10\ANACONDA3) C:\WINDOWS\system32>conda info
usage: CONDA-script.py [-h] [-V] command ...
CONDA-script.py: error: argument command: invalid choice: 'C:\USERS\AGD10\ANACONDA3\SCRIPTS\CONDA-script.py' (choose from 'info', 'help', 'list', 'search', 'create', 'install', 'update', 'upgrade', 'remove', 'uninstall', 'config', 'clean', 'package')

I have unistalled and installed 3 times already, following all recommendations (“Just Me”, not adding Anaconda to the PATH, etc.), and nothing seems to work. Any idea?

I have a similar problem when trying to create a new environment for my user on a Linux cluster (which may be related to #4731). I am replicating my info here

I am trying to use a YAML file that I use to install my working environment in other computers, which has worked fine in other computers where I have administrative rights. Strangely, in the cluster it fails, even though I am not trying to install or update anything in the root account but in mine. Here's the command and the error message I get:

conda-env create -p ~/.conda/envs/ -f ~/CondaInstall/Myenv.yml

This is fixed as of conda 4.3.13. On windows, right-click on the Anaconda Prompt, choose "Run as administrator", and conda update conda.

On linux/osx, sudo /grid/software/anaconda/4.3.0/anaconda3/bin/conda update conda for THIS SPECIFIC permissions issue.

Once you have 4.3.13, this multi-user permissions error shouldn't occur anymore.
