Hi @JackOutside

Ive no specific Idea why it would close, however, if you are clicking on the atsetup.bat file, rather than running it from a command prompt, it certainly wont give an error if it crashes out.

What I would propose is following the Standalone Installation process from here https://github.com/erew123/alltalk_tts?tab=readme-ov-file#-quick-setup-text-generation-webui--standalone-installation

Specifically on Step 2 "Start AllTalk Setup:" run the atsetup.bat from a command prompt, rather than double clicking atsetup.bat and try going through the process that way. If it errors/exits at that point, you should see an error message which we can try figure out what is going on.

Let me know.

Thanks

Hi @JackOutside

Must have been an old bugged version of the batch file in that zip. So, go to this link https://github.com/erew123/alltalk_tts/blob/1.9c/atsetup.bat

Then click the download button and save it over the top of your existing atsetup.bat file and give it another go.

It should be good from there.

Thanks

Hi @JackOutside

This is a recent new thing on that version of conda. Not sure if the environment was part created before you ran the new setup. Please check you have deleted the 'alltalk_environment' folder and try again. You can do that manually or option 4.

Let me know.

Thanks

hi @erew123

yes, i am getting that error after deleting the "alltalk_environment" folder using the option 4 and manual method.

Thanks

Do you know if you have Conda/Anaconda for Windows installed separately? This software https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/index.html

In theory you can test by opening a new command prompt and typing conda --version which will either give you an error message or not-found type message. They had a bug/issue in one of their versions where this error was rampant.... I can only suggest a few things to try

If you DO have conda on your system

conda config --set channel_priority false should set to the classic solver.

You can try updating the conda install to see if that fixes it:

https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/update-version/

I would assume these:

# Update the conda package manager to the latest version in your base environment
conda update -n base conda
# Use conda to update Anaconda to the latest version in your base environment
conda update -n base anaconda

and if your conda version is later than version 23.x you can use this command:

conda config --set solver classic

If you DONT have conda on your system

I would suggest delete the alltalk_tts folder, I assume you have git installed https://git-scm.com/download/win

Then at a command prompt in your "AI" folder, run git clone https://github.com/erew123/alltalk_tts

Then go into that folder and try the atsetup.bat

The reason I am suggesting this, is that conda can store hidden files that set the conda solver to use and there are about 30 of them and I would have no idea which one would need to be removed/changed. It would just be quicker/easier for you to go this route to clean the setup.

hey @erew123

So, I checked with the command line and i got "not found error" and i was still getting the same error after deleting and reinstalling alltalk from scratch.

Then i downloaded anaconda from the website you mentioned and applied this conda config --set solver classic command in the anaconda prompt.

and it worked !!!

i guess probably when i did a system reset on my PC, some files of anaconda got left in my system??? idk.... but finally its working now.

Thank you so much for all help, hope you have a great day. bye

Hi @JackOutside

Glad you have it sorted. Anaconda can be a funny sod when it goes wrong and you may have had this legacy bug thing, which plagued a lot of people. Not sure to be honest, but glad its resolved.

Thanks
