Hello, try pip install setuptools and lmk!

[noob-bird-Yu]

Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in c:\sofewares\anaconda\lib\site-packages (75.1.0) It not work.

[Chocapikk]

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools wheel

Maybe try to upgrade it and install wheel too ?

From what I see you are using anaconda, can you maybe try using

conda update conda
conda update --all
conda install setuptools

?

RemoveError: 'setuptools' is a dependency of conda and cannot be removed from conda's operating environment. It seems still not use.

[Chocapikk]

conda update --force conda

You can try to force it. Otherwise honestly I have no solution, maybe change environment to execute the exploit.
