Anaconda 3 installation - FileNotFoundError

Question

Currently I am trying to install Anaconda 3 on Windows 10. The installation runs mostly fine up until the post installation phase, where it throws the error 'FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified'.

Here is the full error message, which I'm not going to type here. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
