    Please cut and paste the ENTIRE error message (not a screen image, select the TEXT) including context. If that is something being passed to a Windows command shell, the shell does not handle / (that's a command
    OPTION), only \ for paths.

    Have you navigated and proved you have such a file?

    Is there a file called python3105.exe in the folder
    C:/Users/leifs/anaconda3?

    That filename looks wrong to me because the file is usually called
    python.exe.

    This page:

    https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/integration/python-path/

    suggests to me that the path is probably more like C:\Users\leifs\anaconda3\python.exe (or, if you prefer, C:/Users/leifs/anaconda3/python.exe).

    That filename looks wrong to me because the file is usually called >python.exe.

    PS C:\Users\Wulfraed> Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Python38\' -Name -Filter "python*.exe"

    python.exe
    python3.8.exe
    python3.exe
    pythonservice.exe
    pythonw.exe
    PS C:\Users\Wulfraed>

    That's from a stale ActiveState build... Anaconda may drop the "." in the version (I'd expect it is python3.10.5)
