Fix _nsis.py installation error in Anaconda

What is Anaconda?

Anaconda is the leading open data science platform powered by Python. The open source version of Anaconda is a high performance distribution of Python and R and includes over 100 of the most popular Python, R and Scala packages for data science.


The error reads as below:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Anaconda2\Lib\_nsis.py", line 164, in <module> main()
File "C:\Anaconda2\Lib\_nsis.py", line 150, in main
  mk_menus(remove=False)
File "C:\Anaconda2\Lib\_nsis.py", line 94, in mk_menus
  err("Traceback:\n%s\n" % traceback.format_exc(20))
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

And the solution is:


Go to C:\Anaconda2\Lib (default path for Anaconda Lib installation) and type

..\python _nsis.py mkmenus
