I am trying to install Anaconda in my windows PC, installation is stuck at "Setting up package cache" step for almost 14 hours now. Not sure if there is some thing I can do, but this is lot of time for a package to install. I am using my office VPN network, how ever this should not make it run for ever.
enter image description here
In my case when the installation stuck at the same phase for the next attempt I've chosen the installation for user only (not for all users). It also took ages to install but it went through.

Anaconda Installation stuck at - 'Setting up the package cache'
I couldn't install anaconda fully. It doesn't get complete even after half a day. What could be the problem here?
The installation was taking too much time, so i opened the task manager. It helped me sotring out what was eating up the disk(in my case) and it was chrome installer(in my case). So just check out on task manager.
In my case, I saw in the task manager under Conda processes, two CDM stuck tasks, I closed both of them and the installation continued with no issues.

I've been trying to update my server (Windows 10 Pro / 1903 Version) to version 2004 (KB3012973) through various Powershell scripts, but they all seem to apply no changes, at all, after restarting the machine.
Quite important to mention, I was successfully able to install previous updates through these scripts without any errors.
So, let me walk you through the process (PSWindowsUpdate):
First, looking for updates and using 'Install-WindowsUpdate' to install them all:
Rebooting the machine through either the script or manually by pressing on the 'Restart' button in the Start menu.
Letting the machine restart.... Then going into the Windows Update menu:
And viola! After restart, the windows version is just the same as it was before.
I have also tried running the script from the 'Searching, Downloading, and Installing Updates' tutorial by Microsoft, with no luck, as it seems.
I'd also like to note that oddly the update can be installed manually, by pressing the 'Install Now' button, which is sadly not what I'm looking for. As mentioned, the scripts have worked smoothly for previous updates.
Any help would be truly greatly appreciated!
I am attempting to install the Arelle XBRL software and these are the steps I am following.
Download the Windows 64 bit version from http://arelle.org/pub/applications/
Double click on installer
As soon as I click the installer I get an NSIS Error message depicted below.
What I have tried:
E-mailing the Arelle support dept but they don't seem to answer at all
Searched for a solution
The most common solution I have found was to run the installer from the command prompt with the below syntax. This seems to have worked for many people but I am still getting the exact same error.
"C:\Users\MyPc\Desktop\arelle-win-x64-2019-07-24.exe" /NCRC
This problem has existed for weeks and it doesn't make sense as Arelle is a widely used program for use with XBRL and many people have downloaded it.
Disk checks and various error checks are being done frequently by the company's administrator so computer maintenance is always occurring.
Any ideas?
I've had the same issue, I've downloaded installer from another computer and another net, run it on computer where was issue, and it works.
So as I mentioned, I'm running windows 10.
When I first installed windows 10, visual studio community 2015 installed just fine. Then the licence expired so I wanted to reinstall it.
The installation just stops randomly... that it is stuck one one thing..
I also spotted a little connection between the bar saying 'Acquiring' and the second bar.. when the first bar is full, the installation gets stuck on installation of one current installing thing.
I don't know how to explain it though. It just never happened to me.
A screenshot wouldn't help and a video would be too long and boring.
I can't really tell if it is installing anything or not... I once let it install whole one day and it was stuck at the same thing that it was when I left home...
Is there any good explaination and or fix for that?
I finally found the solution for this problem!
I had to disable Windows Defender, because it was blocking the installation..
It was keeping the installation from running msi files.
To disable Windows Defender, follow the steps on this page: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5918-windows-defender-turn-off-windows-10-a.html
Now the installation doesn't stop/isn't stuck on installing one thing :).
I hope I also helped the others that had the same problem before!
I want to install Cygwin on Windows 8.1 64bit but got no success using any variant.
I tried:
1) I downloaded fresh setup-x86_x64 from cygwin site and then tried to install from Internet but got empty mirror list.
2) The I tried manually add mirror from https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst (this file accessible from my computer) but got "unable to get setup.ini" error.
3) then I tried to download WHOLE package manually from one of the mirrors (all mirrors normally accessible from my computer via FTP or HTTP) to setup from local package. When I downloaded all packages (about 30 Gigs) I ran setup with local package option. Package folder was scanned and I got list of categories. But there was no package in any category.
4) also I tried to run setup on my Windows 7 notebook. It got mirror list normally. Also I downloaded packages by setup program using my notebook, then transfered them to my Win 8.1 desktop, but the story was the same: I saw list of categories without packages. But on Win7 notebook I saw packages in categoies when I tried to install from the same directory.
5) Also I tried to turn off or even uninstall my firewall and antivirus software, but all results was the same.
6) I tried to run setup with administrator rights, tried to use different folders and HDD paths, tried to use x86 setup instead of x64 setup.
But nothing helped me.
Any ideas?
Define "didn't work". Post whatever error message the installer presents to you. Every little bit of information helps.
A common issue people experience while installing cygwin are outdated mirrors, i.e., websites who'd usually mirror the cygwin stack, but failed to keep it updated, which explains your issue regarding a missing/bad setup.ini file.
In any case, you most definitely would never want to actually download the entire cygwin stack, as it also includes past-, current-, and beta-versions.
As far as I know, "local installation" is a remnant of the days where one could acquire CDs containing the cygwin stack, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Have been running Python 2.7.2 for several months, was using the 32-bit version on my 64-bit computer.
Today ran the installer for 2.7.3, 64-bit. Now I cannot get idle to start. I see answers here for Python in program files, I am running Win7, and I believe the correct location for this machine is in C:\, not in program files. At least that is where I had 2.7.2 and it worked.
So trying
C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py
or
C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw
neither of those would open Idle. With the .py one a console window flashes open for a split second and disappears. On the .pyw one, nothing at all happens as far as I can see. And the pyw one says right on the screen in File Type: "no console"
The old shortcut in the Start menu, under properties says 'target: python 2.7.2', but I don't see a way to change the target.
Also tried opening from Powershell, command line, Python command line, run. None of those worked.
When I downloaded 2.7.3, it said it was overwriting the files in Python27.
Now uninstall offers two programs to uninstall: 2.7.3 and 2.7.2 , but as far as I can tell there is a single Python program on disk and that one thinks it is 2.7.3. I started to uninstall and try a fresh install, but thought I'd ask first rather than risk further screwing up my machine. Thanks in advance for any help. I did read and try to use all the answers in similar questions here on the site.
I ran in to this today. Basically there was already an older version installed and installing over it (I think it was 2.7.2) with 2.7.3 64 bit broke it bad.
At first the CLI python would work but IDLE refused to launch without even an error. Uninstalling/reinstalling did nothing several times, and the problems got weirder as it couldn't find the msi's it had just downloaded, etc. Then I noticed that it wasn't deleting everything in the Python27 folder.
Manually deleting the folder wasn't enough and I found that it was storing another folder under App Data\Roaming (Windows 7). Removing this one finally allowed the re-installation to work (and show up as a newly installed program instead of acting like it had always been there by not highlighting it).
I was about to give up on the 64 bit version and try the 32 but it seems like the Python uninstaller/installer aren't cleaning everything up properly file wise (if it were registry entries I'd still be digging).
