When I run conda init cmd.exe in either normal or admin mode I get the following error.

WARNING: Cannot install xonsh wrapper without a python interpreter in prefix: C:\Users\JASONL~1\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI202282

What does this mean and how do I fix it? Should I just try a fresh install?

anaconda conda cmd python

Use the anaconda prompt instead of cmd.exe to run the commands.

Run the command in Anaconda PowerShell Prompt.(Start Menu -> Anaconda3 -> Anaconda PowerShell Prompt)

I had the same error. Reinstalling Anaconda fixed the issue (Conda 4.10.1).

I had the same problem.

Running %conda_root_directory%/Library/bin/conda.bat init cmd.exe did the trick. Then I restarted the shell (cmd) and I was able to activate my environment and install a package.
