Unable to install package 5.9.7

Hello,

I have a problem with installing qt 5.9.7 (windows).

Firstly, I wanted to install anaconda a few times, but there was following problem with qt that made impossibile to do it:

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(699): An error occurred while installing package ‘defaults::qt-5.9.7-vc14h73c81de_0’.
Rolling back transaction: …working… done

LinkError: post-link script failed for package defaults::qt-5.9.7-vc14h73c81de_0
location of failed script: C:\Users\lucas\anaconda3\Scripts.qt-post-link.bat
==> script messages <==

==> script output <==
stdout:
stderr: /F was unexpected at this time.

return code: 255

After it, i installed mini conda and then tried to install qt manually. I downladed the package and started installation in conda prompt by typing conda install --use-local qt-5.9.7-vc14h73c81de_0.tar.bz2

Unfortunately, the same story again:

LinkError: post-link script failed for package defaults::qt-5.9.7-vc14h73c81de_0
location of failed script: C:\Users\lucas\miniconda3\Scripts.qt-post-link.bat
==> script messages <==
<None>
==> script output <==
stdout:
stderr: /F was unexpected at this time.

return code: 255

After looking for help I thought that there might be a problem with path variables. I set them according to default window settings.

Finally, I spent lot of hours looking for an answer, but i didin't fix the problem. I would be grateful for you help cause i can't practice

Thanks.

@Xian16 Why such an old Qt version?
What "package" is that? Doesn't look like official Qt installer.
On which Windows version are you trying to install it?

@Xian16 said in Unable to install package 5.9.7:

Anaconda individual Edition

I can indeed see that seems to be supplying PyQt5.9, which is pretty old. When I installed anaconda for PC I did not fetch any such "Anaconda individual Edition", just whatever anaconda was available without that extensive packaging. I don't recall whether that came with a PyQt or I installed PyQt into it myself, but it was certainly a later version. I hesitate to tell you to do that, as I don't know what else you might want from this anaconda distribution and I cannot say what might "break" if you stick with that by upgrade just the Qt component., but I believe most people do it my way.
