radioconda-2023.01.19-Windows-x86_64 install "Failed to create menu" error #45

Closed Phitchco closed 1 year ago

Phitchco commented 1 year ago

trying for a fresh install of radioconda-2023.01.19-Windows-x86_64.exe for user only runs until subject error window appears. If "Ignore" is chosen, then package completes. The program shows up in the windows installed programs list, but there are no menu items. Install details:

Thanks for the report! It looks like something in the underlying installer tool has changed to break this, either constructor or conda itself. The installer is running this command

"$INSTDIR\_conda.exe" constructor --prefix "$INSTDIR" --make-menus @MENU_PKGS@

and now getting this result:

The following argument was not expected: --make-menus

Hopefully a little digging will turn up what the change was and how to handle it.

Ah, not a constructor or conda change but a change I made after the last release to bundle micromamba instead of conda-standalone, resulting in: https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/issues/1215. Looks like I'll have to roll back that change for the time being on Windows.

I just replaced the windows installer with a new build that successfully installed menu items for me. Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
