What happened?

I have CI set up to build a constructor based installer. I had a recent successful build moorepants/anaconda-dee-config#17 with constructor 3.11.1 and then I removed version pins of all packages in construct.yaml to test solving an up-to-date set of packages in moorepants/anaconda-dee-config#18 but the second build failed to install. The failure gave this error:

Setup environment variables...
  Add "C:\Users\runneradmin\miniconda3\condabin" to PATH
  Set 'CONDA="C:\Users\runneradmin\miniconda3"'
Parsing environment...
Applying initial configuration...
  Warning: The 'defaults' channel might have been added implicitly. If this is intentional, add 'defaults' to the 'channels' list. Otherwise, consider setting 'conda-remove-defaults' to 'true'.
  Adding pkgs_dir 'C:\Users\runneradmin\conda_pkgs_dir'
Error: No existing conda executable found at any of C:\Users\runneradmin\miniconda3\condabin\conda.bat,C:\Users\runneradmin\miniconda3\Library\bin\conda.exe

This came from building with the latest released version of constructor 3.11.1.

I then switched to constructor < 3.10 and the build succeeded:

moorepants/anaconda-dee-config#18

I am not sure what may be different, but maybe this points to an issue introduced after version 3.9.3.

Additional Context

No response

[moorepants]

constructor 3.10.0 worked: moorepants/anaconda-dee-config#19

[moorepants]

constructor 3.11.0 worked: moorepants/anaconda-dee-config#20

[moorepants]

With an explicit pin to 3.11.1 it worked: moorepants/anaconda-dee-config#21

I'll close this, as I did not reproduce the error. I could try removing the constructor version pin (original case) but I think I'll just keep it.
