Error appears when installing python packages: pythonw not found

after trying to update Anaconda using conda update --all, the downloading successfully ends but when trying to install the packages, the error message: " Windows cannot find 'pythonw'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again " appears. anyone knows how to deal with it? thanks in advance

P.S. I installed Anaconda somewhere other that C:\, might have something to do with that? Environment variables?

Don't forget to update Anaconda after installation. In the Anaconda Powershell Prompt type:

conda update conda
