Hello KNIMErs,
I’m trying to install Geospatial Analytics Extension for KNIME with no success. The installation process starts, reaches 25% of progress, and stops (no more progress). No error message at all.
The same is for ‘Python Integration’ extension: installations stops with no error message
I’ve checked other topics related to Geospatial Analytics Extension installation issues and they refer to errors that were reported during installation process. Here, there is no error message.
I’m working on KNIME ver. 5.4.4 installed on company computer with Windows 10 Enterprise operating system
Any suggestions for potential root-cause and solution?
Thank you in advance
Hi Kaz -
Is there any difference depending on whether you try to install on your work network vs home? Is it possible updates sites are being blocked, for example? Some sort of network block is my best guess. Possibly some other policy on your Windows machine is interfering? Does the log show anything at all?
This is less likely, but what about virus programs and permissions on your workspace and KNIME folder? Just thinking aloud since there isn’t much to go on…
Hi @ScottF
Thank you for your suggestions.
Unfortunately, due to other priorities, I need to postpone investigation o my side a bit. Nevertheless, I have already spotted that there are issues with installing other extensions as well.

I am back with this challenge.
After unsuccessful installation of Geospatial Analytics Extension for KNIME, I tried to install KNIME AI Extension. The installations process stopped (or doesn’t progress anymore) after reaching 22% of the progress.
Then, I thought about Python as the foundation for other extenssions, so tried to install Python Integration. The process stopped (or doesn’t progress anymore) after reaching 2%% of the progress.
So, I checked knime.ini file and found no line referring to Python at all. Could this be the root-cause for unsuccessful installations of the extensions?
I had VPN connection turned off / on to check if VPN could cause any issues, but the results were the same.
OK, am I able to install any extensions then? Yes, I have installed KNIME Expressions extensions successfully.
Any suggestions for the potential solution? @ScottF or anybody else…
Hi @Kazimierz -
Is anything different if you try with a completely clean installation of KAP? Perhaps you could try the ZIP archive version (so as not to disturb your existing installation) and see if that works?

Hi @ScottF
Thank you for your suggestion.
Unfortunately, after upgrading from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 11 Enterprise, uninstalling KNIME, downloading and installing KNIME again, I still can’t install KNIME AI Extension 
The installation process reaches 22% and stops with neither error message, nor any other info.
Are there any technical prerequisites to successfully install KNIME AI Extension? I would focus on this extension only at the moment.
