Sublime Text 3 - Package Control - Install | ImportError: No module named 'package_control'

Question

I'm on Windows 8 and I can't seem to install any package for Sublime Text 3. I reinstalled it, reinstalled Package Control (https://packagecontrol.io/installation) and I can find Package Control by pressing ctrl + shift + p.

When I try to install any package I get this error:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Tobias\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Installed Packages\Package Control.sublime-package\package_control/package_installer.py", line 154, in on_done
  File "C:\Users\Tobias\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Installed Packages\Package Control.sublime-package\package_control/package_disabler.py", line 76, in disable_packages
  ImportError: No module named 'package_control'

Thank you for your help in advance.

I had a similar issue but in Linux Mint environment. Here is my solution.

From the main menu open: "Preferences" > "Settings"

New Sublime instance will be separated into two frames: left for Default settings, and right — for User settings. You should edit the right one.

Find the section "ignored_packages", probably, it looks like this:

{
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "0_package_control_loader",
        "Vintage"
    ]
}

Now remove 0_package_control_loader from the list of ignored packages:

{
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ]
}

Done! Restart Sublime, and try to install package;) Hope it would help.
