One problem. When I click Uninstall-Anaconda.exe to uninstall anaconda, I got a response (Installation error : Traceback (most recent call last): .....) during the uninstalling. However when I click OK, I can still uninstall it. But I don't know whether this error will have any influence or not.

Also, when i finished installing anaconda. there are 2 prompt: "anaconda prompt" and "anaconda powershell prompt". When I run "anaconda prompt", it directly open a terminal and show: "[process exited with code 1 (0x00000001)]". But when i click "anaconda powershell prompt", everything is normal. Is there any one knows why?

The problem is due to the previous installation of the Anaconda (or Miniconda, ...). During the first installation, an AutoRun key is added to the "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" in the Windows Registry. When you uninstall the Anaconda, this AutoRun key remains intact and interferes with the next installation of Anaconda (or Miniconda). The solution is simple, just remove the key from the registry after uninstallation of Anaconda:

C:\Windows\System32\reg.exe DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun /f
