Error installing Python Extensions

[allorente]

Hello all,

I would like to execute Python scripts in Knime, so I am trying to install the Python extension “KNIME Python Integration” but there is an error installation with this message :
"
An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=KNIMEProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null → [R]org.knime.pythonscripting.channel.v1.bin.win32.x86_64 5.3.0.v202401241043, action=org.knime.product.p2.actions.ShellExec).
An exception occurred while executing the ShellExec command.
Cannot run program “C:\Users\Alvaro” (in directory “C:\Users\Alvaro Llorente\AppData\Local\Programs\KNIME2\plugins\org.knime.pythonscripting.channel.v1.bin.win32.x86_64_5.3.0.v202401241043\bin”): CreateProcess error=193, %1 no es una aplicación Win32 válida
"
Might it be a problem with the blank space in the path since my user is “Alvaro Llorente” with a blank space in between? But I don´t have permission to change it. How should I proceed?

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise
KNIME 5.3.2
Python 3.9.7 (conda installed)

Thanks in advance

Hello @allorente,

Welcome to the forum.

This looks like problems with long paths on Windows. I found some similar posts on the forum. Could you please check the below post and see if you can find a solution?

AI extension cannot be installed on KNIME 5.1

Hello @yupliu and @Erich_Gstrein, Are you on Windows? This sounds a lot like problems with long paths on Windows (KNIME Python Integration Guide). Possible workarounds are Enabling long paths (Maximum Path Length Limitation - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn) Installing the KNIME Analytics Platform in a folder with a shorter path prefix Sorry for your troubles, Adrian

Best,
