Hi, When trying to run the line import open_ephys.control as control I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

As far as I can tell this is specific to the setup I have on my computer I'm trying to get it running on, since I have another where it works fine, but it seems to be the same as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure what's going on. It's currently trying to run with python 3.10.14, and I'm using v0.1.8 of the tools. The computer it works on is windows 10, and the one it doesn't work on is windows 11, just thought I'd add that in case that's a known reason it wouldn't work. Thanks for any help you can give, Stefan

Fixed by downgrading pyzmq to v25.1.2
