Error installing ArrayFire.jl on Windows

[skanskan]

Hello.

I would like to install ArrayFire.jl on Julia 1.3.0 with Windows 10 machine but I'm getting an error.

I have already installed the latest versions of ArrayFire.exe for Windows 64 bits and CUDA 10.2 Toolkit.

But when I try to install the ArrayFire.jl package:

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("ArrayFire")

I have already tried deleting and rebuilding the Registry, with no success.

once JuliaRegistries/General#8405 is merged you should be able to get the latest version without this conflict. Meanwhile you can try checking out the master and see if it works with pkg"add ArrayFire#master"

[skanskan]

Now it seems that it only complains about one package:

Should I install the mater version of SpecialFunctions or other packages?
Or maybe I can remove Julia 1.3.0 and try with 1.3.1

something locking specialfunctions to version 0.9, while arrayfire allowed versions do not include 0.9 for some reason. I've updated so allowed range should be 0.7-0.10, can you check?

[skanskan]

It didn't work either.
Then I've been installing and uninstalling different regular and master versions of SpecialFunctions and some related packages (Distributions, StatPlots... ) and I have messed too much, now many packages don't work.
I think now I need to uninstall R and try with the newer 1.3.1 version from scratch.

[skanskan]

I have removed all conflicting packages and installed just ArrayFire.jl and it's dependencies and now it works.
Thanks you for your time.
