I installed Enthought Canopy onto my 64 bit windows box (Windows 7).
Installed "successfully" except Canopy would not run at all from start menu. I tried running it from cmd and it still would not run.
I checked c:\Users\user...Local and Roaming and found no error logs.
I tried the Windows Vista and above with User Access Control (UAC) enabled, the msi installer trick but Canopy still didn't run either from start menu or cmd.
There seems no help on this on the Enthought website, has anyone else seen and solved the problem?
Maybe too late as you may already have saolved your problem. But I get the same problem after installing.
Did you install a standalone version of python and have a PYTHONPATH variable already defined?
By me, I just remove the PYTHONPATH variable and then Canopy starts correctly

I uninstalled and re-installed Anaconda on my Windows 64-bit while I had an Anaconda environment activated in my cmd. Now, cmd won't open anymore, unless I launch it as administrator (restarting computer and removing Anaconda as Path variable doesn't help). My guess is that my cmd is "blocked" now, as I didn't do "conda deactivate" before uninstalling Anaconda (can't say with certainty though that this was actually the reason, but it coincides with cmd not opening anymore).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
The error message from the screenshot appeared while uninstalling Anaconda, and also when trying to re-install it.
I have installed the Anaconda 3 in my windows 10 and it has not installed the Scripts folder and the Anaconda Prompt or Navigator applications.
I have come here and in other sources for an answer and tried to reinstall, use the cmd as adm to install with the conda commands, but the system does not recognize the conda command. I have seen answers with the Scripts folder, but it was not installed.
I have also seen answers advising me to install miniconda and then update to anaconda, but again, miniconda has the same problem as anaconda: no scripts folder, no recognition of the conda command.
I don't know what to do.
Dear all who may have had the same problem, what worked for me was to install the 32-bit version, I had heard it was more stable.
I did not have to restart Windows after installing this version, It was already there, Anaconda Prompt and Navigator.
I work on a hp Probook with windows 10 and the problem was that the application hp Sure Sense Installer block the installation of anaconda. After uninstalling the hp Sure Sense Installer application and reinstalling anaconda, everything works fine !
I have windows-7 64 bit machine and Python3.6.1(32-bit) installed on it. I wanted to try spyder as IDE for python. I don't have Anaconda or anything like that. So, I installed spyder from command line (cmd.exe) and it did install successfully and prompt returned.
I think it is installed because
I can see spyder3.exe under C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts
From cmd.exe when I enter spyder3 it doesn't throw any error and a rotating circle appears which indicates something is processing. But nothing is launched.
After running spyder3 from cmd.exe though nothing gets launched except the rotating circle for couple of seconds, I see spyder.lock folder under C:\Users\UserName\.spyder-py3
When I delete spyder.lock folder under C:\Users\UserName\.spyder-py3 and run spyder3 again in cmd.exe the folder is created again.
Question: How can I make spyder launch? Did I do something wrong while installing spyder or am I trying to launch it with an incorrect method?
I had to install PyQt5. It is a requirement for spyder on windows and I was missing it. After I installed it I can launch spyder3 from cmd.exe
I have been using Mayavi under enthought Canopy successfully for past 8 months. During a recent update using egg, I got a message about a missing egg in the Canopy package manager and found Mayavi Hanging. I tried to revet to older Mayavi (4.0.0) but no luck. It only works if I revert to Mayavi 3.4 version.
Can somebody suggest me possible sources of error. I am using Windows 8 64bit. Running Mayavi2.exe, Mayavi-script2.py and importing mayavi - none of these work under Mayavi version 4.0.0 onwards. ( On a 32 bit machine, however, I have no problems)
I suggest that you reset your Canopy User Python environment to start clean:
In the Canopy GUI, print sys.prefix to see where that environment's directory is, then quit Canopy and delete that directory (e.g. in Windows Explorer). Restart Canopy, and your environment will be auto-recreated from the installation-time eggs. (For that reason, you might want to first take the time to uninstall your Canopy, and install the current Canopy 1.5.1 from https://store.enthought.com/downloads/ but that's secondary) -- in-app auto-updates are currently disabled, and will be for at least a few more weeks.
Then open a Canopy Command Prompt (from the Start Menu or from the Canopy Tools menu) and type
enpkg mayavi to update to the current mayavi.
If you are non-academic free user, you'll need to wait a few days before this will work, as Mayavi is not currently accessible to such users using enpkg. Sorry for that inconvenience.
After uninstalling and re-installing Mayavi a couple of times, I continued to have the same problem that Mayavi used to hang.
I have managed to solve it by deleting a file
C:\Users\SUK000???\AppData\Roaming\Enthought\mayavi_e3\pyface\workbench\wx\windows_memento
It seems that Mayavi creates this file by default if it does not exist. If it exists, it tries to use the settings in this file to open Mayavi interface and hangs if it does not like the settings.
That was a relief. Thanks for your ideas.
I have installed canopy express and want to get rid of it. I do this through unistall manager from Windows 7. While it completes unnstallating canopy is still in my start up and while i am trying to install python(x,y) it says that python is already installed, possibly because of canopy.
Can anyone help me on this?
