Inability to run comfyui basically any way

Running the windows installer fails

Also isnt recognized by windows screener which might be part of the problem in some way.

Running the windows portable fails

Unsigned bat may be part of the problem.

 This also flags as APT Behavior T1055 Defense Evasion

      It was rerun with the entire folder as well as executables exempted and it still failed.

Running it via docker with ubuntu fails

The exposed ports dont load despite numerous variations attempted.

Running it via a docker that is supposed to be specifically for comfyui (https://hub.docker.com/r/mmartial/comfyui-nvidia-docker) fails in numerous different ways including:

I havent been able to find any fixes anywhere. No LLM that I have tried has been able to fix anything.

I have used many LLM and other products without anywhere close to this many issues and then still not being able to actually run this.

Apparently cant be run in the cloud either….?

On the docker page the Cuda 13 is marked as untested, and this is the latest version. Try a tag a bit older. :thinking:

To be honest I never saw the Windows Desktop installer work, but the Portable Version is solid. Just need more infor the kind of errors you faced. :nerd_face:
