Anaconda /Miniconda navigator not working I was trying to install but not able to do so, Script file is missing

Question

I was using anaconda navigator older version which was running python 3.6 it shows me upgrade to newer version but it failed for more than 1 time. So I decide to do it manually I go through anaconda website and install anaconda navigator's newer version. But from then problems started it was first time stopped opening from start menu. Then I started rectify issue with that. Then i uninstall both version's. Now i download again and then is searched in directory of newly downloaded anaconda which was in C:User\adwait\Anaconda3 but the script file was missing. So i again searched online and i found answer on github: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/6258 So one of the comment was to use miniconda with older version. Miniconda3-4.6.14-Windows-x86_64.exe While installing the file this error pops up. Error while installing miniconda Then this installation close with this message on screen. Close installation message

With Anaconda Navigator or miniconda script file is missing after installation.
