Unfortunately, Anaconda3 cannot be installed using a path that includes a space - the "solution" is to install it elsewhere, e.g: C:\anaconda:

In what folder should I install Anaconda on Windows?

We recommend installing Anaconda or Miniconda into a directory that contains only 7-bit > ASCII characters and no spaces, such as C:\anaconda. Do not install into paths that > contain spaces such as C:\Program Files or that include Unicode characters outside the 7-> bit ASCII character set. This helps ensure correct operation and no errors when using any open source tools in either Python 3 or Python 2 conda environments.

This is rather unfortunate for users who have a space in their name:

If you accept the default option to install Anaconda on the “default path” Anaconda is installed in your user home directory:

Windows 10: C:\Users\<your-username>\Anaconda3\
