InvalidArchiveError when installing openssl-1.1.1g through Anaconda 4.7.12 on Windows 10

I am trying to install requests module, and openssl keep causing the InvalidArchiveError. I am using conda 4.7.12, python 3.8.2, on Windows 10 operating system. I had the same issue when installing other packages requiring openssl-1.1.1g. I have followed the advice from the error message to delete and re-download 'openssl-1.1.1g-he774522_0.tar.bz2', but I keep getting the same error. Is this version of openssl broken or something? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I was able to fix my error by elevating my command window. The delete method wasn't working.

I had the same issue. There was some "openssl*" folders. Deleted them, and the "openssl*" .bz2 files as well, and tried to install again. Now works perfectly.

Eventually the folders can't be deleted because they're used by other programs. If it happens, go to Task Manager and close python.exe.

I encountered the same problem a couple of times. This time my problem was solved simply by closing down jupyter notebook, which was running and using openssl, so if your python is running somewhere, try to close it down. (In addition had already removed openssl-1.1.1g-he774522_0.tar.bz2 and a number of folders openssl-1.1.1g-he774522_0 containing also those .tar balls, so that might be necessary as well)

Encountered the same error, I think it was caused by an earlier failed installation which had left an incomplete openssl-1.1.1g-he774522_0 directory in users\username\Anaconda3\pkgs. Just delete it and then it completes just fine.

You may try to go to your packages directory

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\pkgs\

Then delete openssl-1.1.1g-he774522_0.tar.bz2 file, install libarchive and reinstall your package.

Another Solution

Simply you can install on your anaconda environment using pip instead of conda, anyway i recommend to update your conda too.
