I am also getting the "[error] Error creating virtual environment: Error: File not found: " on an install attempt. Here is my main.log. I don’t think there is a comfyui.log file yet (if there is, I don’t know where it is).

Is there nothing after the “File is not found” in the logs? Would you mind downloading the latest version and trying again?

I also tried deleting

C:\Users\evila\AppData\Roaming\ComfyUI  
and  
F:\ComfyUI\_Desktop\ComfyUI  
the running it again as admin. The log looks the same. If I leave the installer open, this gets added to the log file:

Confirming I have the same issue (uv.exe exists but it fails to find a file, and I also suspect an issue with venv). Also tried deleting files and reinstalling, to no avail.

```

Also using 0.3.28 (latest, as of the time of this post, Dec 7)

Hi there, can you please open the following directory (can just be pasted into explorer), and check if `uv.exe` exists there?

```auto
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\resources\uv\win

```

It should contain:

```auto
uv.exe
uvx.exe

```

If it does not, there is a possibility your AV is throwing a false positive for UV (due to new [self-replace behaviour](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/8914)). Please let us know either way.

Tried with 0.4.0 and same issue. Deleted the entire `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@comfyorgcomfyui-electron\` dir too.

To answer the exact question, yes, uv is there (see screenshot).

Alright next up a few checks in one short process. Please follow this process exactly and let us know if any part of it fails:

1. Whilst holding the **Windows** key, press **`R`**
2. In the Run dialog box, type **`cmd`** , then press **Enter**

3. Type **`powershell.exe`** , then press **Enter**
4. Type **`$PSVersionTable`** , then press **Enter**
5. Paste the results of this here

Hey. Sorry for the delay, this isn’t my usual machine. If you batch questions I can answer a bunch at a time. Here’s the PSVersionTable

```auto

Unfortunately the only way I’ve been able to reproduce this issue is when `powershell.exe` is not available in the PATH. Part of the process above checked this, so if that was followed then there are only a handful of options. Anti-malware is a possibility, but I’d expect access denied errors instead.

That said, there is an update on the way soon which will at the very least provide us with more information to track this down. Edit: It is more likely that it will resolve the issue.

**Stop reading here if you’re happy to wait for the next release (recommended).**

> **Manual troubleshooting steps**
>
> You can also try [completely uninstalling](https://comfyorg.notion.site/ComfyUI-Desktop-User-Guide-1146d73d365080a49058e8d629772f0a#dde78c93ce00412d94ca63618c1ee47a) and reinstalling.
> 
> Purely to test, you can select CPU mode (which reduces total download to around 300MB), then pick a completely new location to install to. Delete `%APPDATA%\config.json` and `%APPDATA%\extra_models_config.json` if it works (will allow you to select your old install dir).

Excellent, thanks for the digging on this! I’ll let you know when I check out the next release.
