How to Fix Entry Point Not Found while installing libraries in conda environment

Question

I'm working on Anaconda by making multiple environments in it. I have made an environment camelot and now I want to install different libraries in this environment. So for example to install pandas in this environment, I'm writing:

conda install pandas  

or

conda install -c conda-forge camelot-py 

Then it gives me this error:

python.exe-Entry Point Not Found    The procedure entry point OPENSSL_sk_new_reserve could not be     located in the dynamic link library.    C:\Users\abc\Anaconda3\Library\bin\libssl11_-x64.dll 

First I thought it may be because of the environment variable, thus I set an environment variable for Python, but this did not resolve the issue.

Answer 1

as it is suggested in here I could solve this problem by copying libssl-1_1-x64 dlls in Anaconda/DLLS to Anaconda/Library/bin (probably replacing it)

Answer 2

I got the same issue while updating Anaconda navigator, and got it over by replacing the file libssl-1_1-x64.dll in Anaconda3/Library/bin with the one from Anaconda3/DLLs.
