Access denied on ProgramData when installed Sass with Choclatey (in admin powershell) - css

I am trying to install the sass css transpiler from chocolately. The install fails to fully execute because the executeable can't be compiled into the correct location.
Note that choco thinks it is installed.
But running it doesn't work due to the missing executable.
First off this is not a duplicate of Fix Chocolatey "Access is Denied" or Permission denied in chocolatey.
In screenshots I've censored my name, they should still be useful.
Things I've checked:
I'm in an administrator shell.
ExecutionPolicy is AllSigned.
I only have the one admin account.
All users have full permissions in the chocolately directory and al the way down into lbi and bin dirs. I know this is not idea long term but I'm trying a bunch.
Bitdefender antivirus hasn't been complaining although it initially did false positive sass with a known common false positive. Howerver I tried exempting sass and chocolately in the settings.

This is a package issue. Have you tried to reach out to the maintainer using the 'Contact Maintainer' on the package page?

How do I fix the CondaHTTPError [duplicate]

I'd like to install the pymongo library but I'm getting the following error:
(C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3) C:\Users\xxxxxxx>
conda install -c anaconda pymongo
Fetching package metadata ...
CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/a

A number of posts online simply reinstalled Anaconda, any other options apart from a fresh install?
This works a charm:-
Just copy these:-
libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll
from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin to D:\Anaconda3\DLLs.
Execute the following command in the cmd prompt/terminal:
conda config --set ssl_verify no
I try to create a virtual env with python 2.7 with anaconda, the base env is python 3.7. I encounter the exactly same problem. It turns out that there isn't such problem with other virtual envs with python 3.7 or 3.6.
This post works perfectly to solve my problem on win7 with anaconda prompt.
It basically says you need to add the following directories into your user environment path in windows (go to Start and type in: View Advanced System Settings, then select Environmental Variables: then select Path and click Edit: finally you can click New and add a path):
C:\your_directory_to_anaconda3\Anaconda3\Scripts
C:\your_directory_to_anaconda3\Anaconda3\
C:\your_directory_to_anaconda3\Anaconda3\Library\bin -- This is the directory for openssl
If you added conda to your PATH variables, remove it and use the "Anaconda Prompt". This solved the problem for me.
See: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8046#issuecomment-450582208
I faced this issue when I tried to create environment. I solved it by first activating conda base environment by using:
conda activate base
then I created the environment
conda create -n myenv python=3.7
Check the proxy URL
Verify .condarc file
For me, the problem was with the indentation in the .condarc file.
proxy_servers:
http: http://testproxy:8080
https: https://testproxy:8080
My authenticated proxy server is configured with a domain whitelist for massive and repeated downloads so root or local sudoer doesn't need to be authenticated.
Adding conda.anaconda.org is not enough as this repo redirect its traffic to amazonaws.com.
In my case, adding ".amazonaws.com" to the whitelist solved the issue.
The issue was resolved by adding a username and password to file C:\Users\xxxxx.condarc
channels:
- defaults
ssl_verify: false
proxy_servers:
http: http://xxxxx:password#sproxy.fg.abc.com:yyyy
https: https://xxxxx:password#sproxy.fg.abc.com:yyyy
I had the same problem on Windows 10-64 bit and intuitively installed the 64-bit version of miniconda. However, it results in exactly the same error above. Installing 32 bit conda installer has resolved the issue
Before installing some package (pydicom) the installation run just fine. After
it I tried to install matplotlib, but I got the same error as yours.
I tried conda config --set ssl_verify no but it didn't solve the problem so I set it again to true.
Fortunately, I had a virtual environment where I installed my packages. I closed all Anaconda prompts and tried in a new test environment. Magically, the install worked. I came back to my original virtual env and run the install again, and it worked!.
It might be that I just had to wait for some time before I could use conda install again.
One other thing I could do is remove the package that caused the problem, but I didn't have the chance to try it. If it has anything to do with some virtual environments not being affected, then one possible way to guard against this is to clone the environment before installing any new package.
Edit: I tried the same solution but It did not work. But instead of showing the error immediately, it asks me whether I want to proceed. I deactivated the env, and re-opened anaconda prompt, then did the same steps as above and worked again.
I also had the Same Issue, I resolved by installing 32 bit Anaconda Installer.
Which resolved the CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION, on Windows 64 bit.
I faced this issues after "conda clean -a" on win-64.
Activating and deactivating existing conda env resolved the issue.
You might need to upgrade your openssl installation
You can download it here (Try the latest version):
https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Source:
https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/6424#issuecomment-464660808
My issue was simply not running the conda init command prior to attempting to create an environment.
Came across the CondaHTTP Connection error after installing Anaconda environment on a new Windows 10 computer. I tried virtually all the recommendations above unsuccessfully! Looking up the Anaconda archives ( https://repo.continuum.io/archive/ ), I downloaded the immediate previous release .... and on installation and rebooting my PC, all is now wellscreenshot of release
In short - installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio solved my problem.
In more detail: upon trying a suggested solution of installing a new version of OpenSSL, the installation process told me I was missing a dependency - the Visual Studio Redistributable package. The installer led me to a direct download page of the 2017 version. I can't find that page now, but the official release of 2019 can be found here, and should work as well (found under Other Tools and Frameworks).
Uninstalling and reinstalling anaconda for all users (instead, of current user only, requires admin privileges) and activating the option to add Anaconda to PATH during the installation process, fixed the issues for me.
Thank you everyone for your responses. In my case, I found out that my Kaspersky Internet Security was blocking it the whole time. The moment I quit the application all applications were downloaded. Please check your firewall settings before trying all the above options.
I tried all of these solutions and none worked for me. After running the command
conda config --remove-key channels
in the Anaconda Prompt, everything started working for me on my next attempt.
Adding that I had the same problem on ubuntu on WSL. None of the solutions worked for me, until I realized I was working on WSL version 1 (I thought I'd already upgraded). Upgrading from WSL 1 to WSL 2 solved the problem for me.
Running following these two commands worked for me.
conda config --remove-key proxy_servers
conda clean --source-cache
I'd tried all of the advice on this and many other webpages.
In the end I broadcast a "help me Obiwan Kenobi, you're my only hope message" to a large group of people at work and one of them who used python all the time was able to help me
The trick was to set several windows environmental variables
CURL_CA_BUNDLE
REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE
SSL_CERT_FILE
To my company's root certificate (a .cer or .crt) which I had downloaded to a spot on my disk
You may also need to add (in my case)
C:\Users\kdalbey\Anaconda3\Scripts
(or your particular \Anaconda3\Scripts) to your path.
And then I set proxies just for good measure
note I previously copied libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll, libcrypto-1_1-x64.pdb, libssl-1_1-x64.dll, libssl-1_1-x64.pdb from anaconda3\Library\bin to anaconda3\DLLs so that could be part of the secret sauce
and it didn't work until I killed and restarted anaconda-navigator
Two steps to deal with this error.
The Anaconda prompt configures the path, to include all the necessary executable files (for instance Library\bin - On Windows, launch it with admin permission). So that you need to use it to execute conda :
Update conda with conda update conda
Exit my proxy software which solved the issue.
I would like summarize some of the proposed answers in this post and propose my experience on that. As it can be understood from the error explanation, the error is related to the connection and I strongly believe that no need to uninstall and reinstall anything if the real cause of the problem be known. My problem gone away after the system powered off and powered on again one day later. So, some possible causes and their solutions (these solutions could be tested in order based on the written bulleted order) could be as follows:
Crash in anaconda prompt:
Probable solutions:
Deactivating and activating the environment, without removing all packages or …, or
Closing/reopening the prompt (Michael Heidelberg) or
Using cmd.exe instead, perhaps
Non-responsiveness of the anaconda site:
Massive site traffics related probable issues, that could be the reason of non-responsiveness or to temporary block some IPs
Probable solutions:
Retying as recommended in the error: HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way. It solves my problem sometimes. or
Activate or deactivate VPNs or Proxies (like use in .condarc; see: Github sroder, Nandhan Thiravia, Vinod Sangale, Peter Lucas, Sunding Wei).
Try after a while if you have time
System firewall block the site:
That might be happened by activating and deactivating of VPNs, repeatedly or by some other works
Probable solutions:
Finding the issue in system firewall and allowing the connection in the firewall settings (ScienceJedi, Github)
Reboot, perhaps
If the aforementioned ways didn't solve the problem, testing the related answers in the following order:
Add ...\Anaconda3\Scripts, ...\Anaconda3\, and ...\Anaconda3\Library\bin to the path (talentcat, skerjj, Victor Ochieng, jankap), perhaps need a reboot after (lightarrow)
Copying libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin into D:\Anaconda3\DLLs (Swapnil)
I think it could be used in the first step because It is unlikely to be cause of any other problem. The reason I didn't mention this at the beginning is that the developers could placed these files in that directory during installation, too, in default, but they didn't; perhaps it had some reasons (Github).
Note: these files are for Python >3, and I didn't find them for Python 2. Perhaps they have another names.
It must be said that my problem didn't solve by this solution.
Keep your SSL stack up-to-date (kamal dua, Anaconda troubleshooting, update openssl, Abdulrahman Bres, Update to openssl 1.1.1)
I didn't recommend it at first because Its not a good idea to unset ssl verification unless you know what you are doing (Pratyush comment) and somewhere I read that it couldn't return to True again.
It must be said that my problem didn't solve by this solution, too.
conda config --set ssl_verify false
conda update openssl ca-certificates certifi

R package access denied installation error

Error in install.packages :
path[1]="\Users\name\Documents\R\win-library\4.1": Access is denied
I am trying to install basic r packages, and keep getting this error even though I have full permissions for this folder. I have tried different packages so it is something going on with my permissions.
Hey I figured it out using this guide I was confused because I had permissions to the document folder but because it was being backed up to the network I was getting an error. I also had to manually set permissions to the r-library files to make sure they weren't 'read only'
I have had this problem in the past. The way I fixed it was to close R, navigate to C:\Users\name\Documents in Windows Explorer, delete a file called '.Rhistory' located in that directory.
I then reopened R and then used the install.packages function as normal, and it ran with no problems.

Setting a working directory: "Error in setwd: cannot change working directory" under "C:/Documents and Settings/..."

I was wondering why it won't let me change my working directory.
I keep seeing this error:
Error in setwd(dataDir) : cannot change working directory
This is my code:
dataDir <- "C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/R/"
setwd(dataDir)
Seems to be an annoying Windows permissions issue; that's a legacy directory.
There are 2.93 million Google hits along the lines of "Windows (7/)10: Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings' is denied". Look for advice in Windows forums, and check what the ownership and permissions on "C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/..." are currently, and what they're supposed to be, and whether Administrator account is enabled. (Frankly not the best choice for the R install packages directory, but many installers use it, or default to it.)
Please confirm that setwd() works fine for a more harmless choice of directory, e.g. 'C:\Users\your_name\R'
Are you running R as Administrator or User?
Did you install R as Administrator or User? (which installer did you use, and which installer version/date? R-project's? Anaconda? another?)
There must be an error in the path. It should look like C:\<your_username>\Documents and Settings\My Documents
Or try
setwd("C:\\[your_username]\\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\\R")
"Documents and Settings" is a directory that exists in really old versions of Windows (XP and earlier). In Windows 10, your user data is under C:\users\<username>, and your documents are in C:\users\<username>\Documents.
As far as R is concerned, under Windows 10 the home directory ~ maps to C:\users\<username>\Documents.
Run Rstudio as Admin.
then run dataDir <- "C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/R/"
setwd(dataDirstrong text**)**

Codelite compiling issues (mingw32-make.exe *** [ALL] Error 2)

I'm having serious issues with Codelight. It has been working for days now, maybe even weeks but after today when I took my project to school to work on it there something happened. My workspace is in a onedrive folder so that I can work on it wherever I am. I have reinstalled codelight and reinstalled MinGW and set it up according to my school's instructions but right now I can't build anything at all (see attached image). I have been looking at other threads but none of them have helped so far. Error
What do you think happened?
Edit: I seem to have fixed the issue. When you let codelite search for a compiler, as it does the first time you launch it, you mess up the directories of things completely. So for example the directory for the C compiler should be $(CodeLiteDir)/tools/gcc-arm/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe instead of C:\MinGW or wherever it may be installed. Also, we use a patched version of codelite with 'added debugging support' for the md407 so you really don't want to update codelite. There were more issues, for example the C compiler options for my project, so when I built the project it complained about all sorts of things and the cursor wouldn't show up so debugging was impossible, but I managed to fix that too.
In conclusion: this was not fun to fix and codelite is sensitive.
I use Dev-C++ I got similiar 'Mingw32-make.exe' errors. When installing Mingw you will notice there is another directory 'c:\Mingw32\MSYS\1.0\bin'. Within MSYS this directory is global and it has some very important binary files like its own 'make.exe' file. 'Mingw32-make.exe' uses files from this directory. Because the IDE will not know about this directory you will need to include this in your system/environment path because outside of MSYS this directory is not global and 'ming32-make.exe' will not be able to access those binary files.
Regardless of your compiler if your 'make' is Mingw32 that path must be set.

Running any meteor command gives error "hasStacks = !!e.stack; RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded"

So I am having this issue for the past 8-9 hours. I have been trying to resolve it by googling around.
This is what I have tried so far.
1) Totally uninstalled node and npm.
2) Totally uninstalled meteor. Deleted all the local/.meteor data. Searched for meteor in entire C drive and deleted it. Restarted the PC.
3) Reinstalled node, npm and meteor js again. (Did steps 1-3 in safe mode also and tried 3 times.)
4) Ran command and got this error again. "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local.meteor\packages\meteor-tool\1.4.4_2\mt-os.window
s.x86_32\dev_bundle\lib\node_modules\q\q.js:70
hasStacks = !!e.stack;
^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded".
Note: The same code works for me in another system, so apparently code is fine the issue is with meteor and my pc.
Then I found that creating new windows account and installing meteor there can make it work. So I tried to do that as well but no luck.
I need help to resolve this as I don't have any clue what to do next.
Meteor version is: 1.4
Node version is: 6.10.3
NPM version is: 3.10.10
Apologies for late response, just had the same problem and was eventually able to solve it. The problem is that windows doesn't like long file paths. Unfortunately, meteor is full of them so the installer seems to miss those files.
Try this:
Install meteor if its not already.
navigate to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local and delete the
.Meteor folder.
Download the installation archive:
https://meteorinstall-4168.kxcdn.com/packages-bootstrap/1.5/meteor-bootstrap-os.windows.x86_32.tar.gz
use 7-zip to extract the .Meteor folder somewhere with a shorter
path; ie: C drive root directory. Make sure you are running 7-Zip as
admin, and extract it using 7-Zips interface. Don't drag and drop as
this will extract to the temp folder first.
Go to your Environment Variables (in Control Panel/Advanced System
Settings), edit Path, and change the .Meteor directory to where you extracted the folder.
Open up CMD, cross your fingers, and enter meteor --version
Hope this helps any desperate souls out there.
