[Python] Anaconda Installation Error: “Failed to link extracted packages to C:\Anaconda”...

I'm trying to install Anaconda3 2024.10-1 (64-bit) on my Windows system, but I keep getting this error during setup:

⚠️ Failed to link extracted packages to C:\Anaconda!

I've tried the following steps to resolve it:

• 
  Ensured I have plenty of disk space
  
  
• 
  Disabled antivirus/firewall completely during install
  
  
• 
  Deleted previous Python/Anaconda installations
  
  
• 
  Tried both the latest version and older versions of Anaconda
  
  
• 
  Tried changing the installation directory (not just C:\Anaconda)
  
  
• 
  Ran the installer as administrator
  
  
• 
  Attempted multiple fresh reinstalls
  
  
• 
  But the issue still persists
  
  
• 
  Also tried miniconda also have same problem. enter image description here enter image description here
  

System Info:

• 
  Windows 11 (64-bit)
  
  
• 
  Installing as administrator
  
  
• 
  No proxy or VPN
  
  
• 
  Not using Miniconda separately
  

What could be causing this “Failed to link extracted packages” error, and how can I successfully install Anaconda? Are there any logs I should check or any advanced options I should use during installation?
