Menu
I had Anaconda version 3.5 installed on my machine but I decided to uninstall it (via the control panel) and to download version 2.7 instead. I am using Windows 7.
However, I have an error message towards the end of the installation where I receive a pop up window saying: Failed to create Anaconda menus and then another one saying Failed to add Anaconda to the system PATH.
When I click ignore on these pop ups the installation is finished but I do not even see Anaconda in my start menu.
I used different installers (4.2.0 and 4.1.1) but it still not working.
I tried to install it for all users (as I read on the Internet) but it still did not work. The error message was different (see link below) followed by the pop up Failed to create Anaconda menus.

Can you please help as I am stuck and cannot use it at all?

Restarting the computer fixes it.
Environment PATH for Conda is not set – This is the most common cause why this issue occurs. Keep in mind that the latest Anaconda builds will not automatically add Conda to your System variable paths since it can cause various issues with other software.
On Windows, macOS, and Linux, it is best to install Anaconda for the local user, which does not require administrator permissions and is the most robust type of installation. However, with administrator permissions, you can install Anaconda system wide.
2.5 years later, I had the same problem installing v2019.07, but the version actually doesn't matter. Anaconda has had this bug in the installer for a long time.
Finally I went to the download archive and grabbed 2019.03, which installed with no issues. This fixed it for me, your mileage may vary.
