echo -----------
cd  cs-constructor
git checkout 8426b02ca72d277fa7f538577445e8f5da0bd573 .  <-----------------------------

These are the changes as of now

https://github.com/conda/constructor/compare/8426b02..31e1947

There are changes in how the NSIS script is written, but the CI does pass with a fresh installation, so I am wondering if the error is specific to the way is set up on your machine.

Can you provide the input file you are using for this installer, plus the full logs containing the error after running constructor --debug ...?

[scottwsides]

It seems very latest construtor (one more commit than when I saw bug) no longer has this problem. I'm still double-checking and will let you know... but I think you can de-prioritize.

I just ran into it while debugging as well so... I'll keep an eye on this :)

I don't know why it fails to "solve" only on Windows. There's a bug about not erroring out in that step, but regardless, it should work. Maybe I messed the synthetic index cache or something. I am looking into this!

Found the issue. Fix coming soon in #553
