Conda install package error: missing zlib.dll

Question

So I am quite a beginner when it comes to Python and Anaconda, but I have managed to install anaconda3. When I wanted to add some new package (ftfy), I tried to do it through the command line on Windows 7:

conda install ftfy

I have added the anaconda folder and anaconda3/Scripts to my PATH variable, however, when running the command I get an error saying:

The progam can't start because zlib.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

How do I solve it (without reinstalling)?

Answer 1

You have to add xxxx\Continuum\anaconda3\Library\bin to your path.
