I guess the installation is interrupted.

Can you delete C:\Users\{your_user_name}\.azure\cliextensions\azure-cli-ml and install it again?

Thanks. My Machine has .Azure (not .azure).

C:\Users{your_user_name}\.Azure\cliextensions\account C:\Users{your_user_name}\.Azure\cliextensions\ml

I do not see azure-cli-mi

[bebound]

I see, please delete C:\Users{your_user_name}\.Azure\cliextensions\ml

@bebound: Thank you! I deleted below two items and then tried "az version". The error went away: C:\Users\{your_user_name}\.Azure\cliextensions\ml C:\Users\{your_user_name}\.azureml Hope this resolution help other users as well. Thank you again!
