another error.

piratecaptain · February 8, 2025, 10:58pm

I had the same issue after running into some issues and trying to update. Couldn’t and had to delete ALL my old configs and models bc i forgot to back them up. But for those of you who are encountering this, you can go to the github releases page and download a working installer for version 0.4.13 iirc. Check here:

download that installer and you can get it running.

filtered · February 9, 2025, 2:45am

We’ve released version 0.4.18!

If you do continue to experience issues, please let us know.

@piratecaptain You should not ever need to delete your models to update ComfyUI - if you need to remove the directory, you can simply move the model files out using Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac.

What should I do if the latest version cannot be installed successfully?
