start_windows fails to launch

[GameMelvin]

Hi, the install goes as it should but as soon as I use the start file it opens CMD for a second before closing again and not starting anything.

[thijsi123]

Try adding PAUSE at the end of start_windows.bat and run again.

so like this:

@echo off
REM Start GLaDOS

call .\venv\Scripts\activate
python glados.py
PAUSE

This is the error I get

Did you install using install_windows.bat? (I'm no expert in this, but I'll try to help.)

[GameMelvin]

Yes, I used the install_windows.bat.

[thijsi123]

Can you confirm that submodules\whisper.cpp and llama.cpp folders exist? In the Glados folder?

[GameMelvin]

Yes. both exist in the folder

[thijsi123]

Could you remove them and rerun the installer?

[thijsi123]

I mean this:

[GameMelvin]

Still gives the same error.

IS python 3.12 installed and does it show up like this in cmd?

C:\Users\xxx>python -V
Python 3.12.6   (should be 3.12.x)

and if it doesn't show like this try this command:

C:\Users\xxx>python3.12
Python 3.12.6 (tags/v3.12.6:a4a2d2b, Sep  6 2024, 20:11:23) [MSC v.1940 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

if it works it should be alright. No need to worry about "C:\Users\xxx>python -V"

attempt 2:

run this as a bat file

@echo off

echo Done!

if that doesn't work then... I don't know. Maybe the path in the following is wrong? GlaDOS\glados\whisper_cpp_wrapper.py on line 858

"add_library_search_dirs(['./submodules/whisper.cpp/'])  # add the path to the whisper.cpp submodule

# Begin libraries
_libs["whisper"] = load_library("whisper")"

You could change it to r"C:/Users/gamem/Desktop/GlaDOS-main/submodules/whisper.cpp/" like this.

That's all I can think of... Sorry if it doesn't help.

I did the last thing by changing the code and this is the new error I get.

[thijsi123]

It's the same, no idea. Sorry.
