@giordano ?

@stevengj : would you have a workaround for this? I have seen that you had workarounds for similar issues in the past... :) (I don't know my way at all...

@stevengj : thanks a lot for your reply! The content of `.\conda\3` is: ```julia PS C:\Users\somlin\.julia> ls .\conda\3 Directory: C:\Users\somlin\.julia\conda\3 Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d---- 06.04.2022...

@stevengj : you can see that there is `_conda.exe` (with an `_`!). Would that be what is supposed to be `conda.exe`? The folder `C:\Users\somlin\.julia\conda\3\Scripts` does not exist.

So as a test, I created the folder `/C:\Users\somlin\.julia\conda\3\Script` and copied `_conda.exe` inside and renamed it to `conda.exe`. Then, the result is this: ```julia Building PyCall → `C:\Users\somlin\.julia\scratchspaces\44cfe95a-1eb2-52ea-b672-e2afdf69b78f\1fc929f47d7c151c839c5fc 1375929766fb8edcc\build.log` ]...

@stevengj : with `PYTHON=""` set, where is it supposed to get the Python library from when things work as they should?

I run `C:\Users\somlin\.julia\conda\3\installer.exe`, which turns out to be the miniconda installer. The installation completed, however there was an error "creating some menu entries", which I ignored. Then, the installation details...

It seems to me that the installer automatically selected by Conda.jl does not work for Windows 7. On the website of MiniConda it says (https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html): ``` Operating system: Windows 8...

It looks like I could successfully install MiniConda3 - Python 3.7 into `C:\Users\somlin\.julia\conda\3`:  As a result, rebuilding PyCall seems to have worked correctly: ```julia (@v1.7) pkg> status Status `C:\Users\somlin\.julia\environments\v1.7\Project.toml`...
