ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(698): An error occurred while installing package 'defaults::qt-5.9.7-vc14h73c81de_0'

I am getting an error whenever I want to install Anaconda. I tried several version and the error keeps appearing.

I tried uninstalling and then again installing, then restarting my PC several times. What could be the problem?

Solution

So for those who are also having this issue. I completely uninstalled anaconda and didn't use it for a year. After many Windows updates, I have decided to reinstall anaconda just to check if it's still fricked up. And surprise surprise it was working again.
