InvalidArchiveError when executing conda install notebook

I have conda 4.8.1 running on windows 10 enterprise edition and it is showing me following error whenever I try to install notebook.

InvalidArchiveError("Error with archive D:\\Miniconda3\\pkgs\\notebook-6.0.2-py37_0ujelie94\\pkg-notebook-6.0.2-py37_0.tar.zst. You probably need to delete and re-download or re-create this file. Message from libarchive was:\n\nCan't create '\\\\?\\D:\\Miniconda3\\pkgs\\notebook-6.0.2-py37_0\\Lib\\site-packages\\notebook\\static\\components\\MathJax\\extensions\\a11y\\invalid_keypress.mp3'")

I have tried different versions of notebook and reinstalled anaconda and miniconda many times. Nothing seems to work.

On Windows you may need to enable "long paths" if the package being installed has many sub-directories.

In my case, conda install tensorflow=2.10.0 would produce this error.

InvalidArchiveError("Error with archive C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\miniconda3\\pkgs\\tensorflow-base-2.10.0-mkl_py39h6a7f48e_0.conda.  You probably need to delete and re-download or re-create this file. Message was:\n\nfailed with error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\\\Users\\\\user\\\\AppData\\\\Local\\\\miniconda3\\\\pkgs\\\\tensorflow-base-2.10.0-mkl_py39h6a7f48e_0\\\\Lib\\\\site-packages\\\\tensorflow\\\\include\\\\tensorflow\\\\compiler\\\\mlir\\\\hlo\\\\_virtual_includes\\\\compose_set_interface_inc_gen\\\\mlir-hlo\\\\Dialect\\\\gml_st\\\\transforms\\\\compose_set_interface.h.inc'")

The path length of the missing directory was 329 characters. The default Windows 10 path length is 260 characters.

I toggled long paths and Tensorflow installed successfully.

For me, using pip worked. It downloaded the correct version of TensorFlow (2.16.3), which is compatible with Python 3.9.18. I had TensorFlow 2.10.0, which was giving the InvalidArchiveError.

pip install tensorflow

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04, I used conda clean -a and then it works perfectly. Actually what conda clean -a does is cleaning the compressed .bz files and deleting older versions of package folders and does nothing to the new ones.

P.S.: Make sure you installed Anaconda or Miniconda into a directory that contains only 7-bit ASCII characters and no spaces, such as C:\anaconda!
