I would suggest trying to install ComfyUI manually, making sure it works on its own with its own separate venv, and then linking it in the Webui settings for sd-webui-comfyui.

Does your ComfyUI install work at all on its own?

I have a hard time understanding why comfyUI should have it's own venv. Isn't the whole point of it being an extension within automatic1111 so it can share the same resources as the main webui uses?

Because we did that at first, and we realized that the 2 venvs are incompatible (can't be merged into 1). Some ComfyUI nodes require packages that conflict with the Webui's venv, and it was a mess.

We had a couple of issues opened that we couldn't fix because of package conflicts.

Maybe it should be a setting? I think we talked about using a separate venv as an option in the settings at some point, but forgot about it later on.

What about symlinking a separate portable install? Would that perhapt be possible? Because not even my sd-webui uses venv cause that is the portable version with similar structure as the portable comfyui

path-to-sd-webui
  "ParametersExamples"
  "system" 'Portable env with python'
  "webui" 'webui directory'
  "run.bat" 'starting batch script'
  "update.bat" 'update batch script'
  "environment.bat" 'batch script equivalent to "venv/Scripts/activate"'

Hm that's interesting. If you have 2 separate portable versions (Webui AND ComfyUI), it should work just fine. If I understand correctly, this is the same as having 2 separate venvs, but as portable installations.

The comfyui launcher of the extension looks for 2 paths:

• {comfyui_dir}/venv/scripts/python.exe (1)
• {comfyui_dir}/../python_embeded/python.exe (2)

This means that if you have a portable version of ComfyUI, it should be able to use the 2nd (2) python executable path and use it to launch ComfyUI.

I think this conversation should be continued in #206, because I don't think it's related to OP's problem. Some people seem to not be able to install ComfyUI using our custom install script in the tab, and we don't know why (could also be a syspath issue).

I suspect the reason is directory permissions by the way. Not totally sure, but it's a track to investigate I think.
