Hi @anspraksaph. I was not aware that you could provide a target like C:\pyaedt.[tests] to pip install ! I tried what you just described on my laptop and it worked in my case.

Below is the code I used. Note that I am:

• using a Python that was installed with hatch (I don't know where your py -3.11 comes from);
• cloning pyaedt in my user space and not in C:

C:\Users\smorais\AppData\Local\hatch\pythons\3.11\python\python.exe -m venv venv311
 .\venv311\Scripts\activate
python -m pip install pip -U
python -m pip install wheel setuptools -U
python -m pip install C:\Users\smorais\pyaedt.[tests]

On top of being able to install it myself, we do have CI jobs that consist in testing the installation of pyaedt with the combination of:

• Python version: '3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11', '3.12';
• OS: Ubuntu, Windows;
• Install target: 'all', 'installer'. Therefore, I feel like the problem is associated to your environment. Could you try to clone the repo in another place and move inside the cloned repo (with cd path/to/pyaedt) to call python -m pip install .[tests] ?
