Ryzen AI installer hangs silently at "Creating Conda env" when conda TOS not accepted

[julianpitt]

Description

The Ryzen AI LT installer (v1.7.1) hangs indefinitely during the "Creating Conda env" step with no error message or progress indication. The conda process shows 0% CPU usage and no network activity.

This is the same issue as #285, which was closed as completed but has not been fixed in v1.7.1.

Root Cause

The installer runs conda env create --file=env.yaml non-interactively. If conda's Terms of Service have not been accepted for the required channels, conda blocks waiting for user input that will never come. The installer has no timeout and no error handling for this case.

Environment

• Hardware: Minisforum AI XPro 370 (AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Radeon 890M)
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (running as a Proxmox VM with GPU passthrough)
• Conda: Miniconda3 (latest)
• Installer: ryzen-ai-lt-1.7.1.exe

Reproduction

1. Fresh install of Miniconda3 on Windows 11
2. Run ryzen-ai-lt-1.7.1.exe
3. Installer reaches "Creating Conda env" and hangs forever
4. In a separate terminal, Get-Process conda*, python* shows conda at 0 CPU

Workaround

Accept conda Terms of Service before running the installer:

conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main
conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r
conda tos accept --override-channels --channel https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2

Suggested Fix

The installer should either:

1. Run conda tos accept for required channels before creating the environment
2. Pass a flag to skip TOS prompts in non-interactive mode
3. Display the actual conda error output instead of hanging silently

@julianpitt thanks for reporting this issue and sharing the details. We are looking into this issue.

same problem：
EnvironmentFileNotFound: 'C:\Windows\Installer\SFXCAA77C3B39454D1B48855E86E68DE6D431\env.yaml' file not found
installer likely not copy the yaml file to correct path
