Hey Sharky, 
I have been using your tools for many years without issues so well done for the fantastic tools you provide.

 I have recently started looking at an AI application called Stable-diffusion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MeJKnbv...NU&index=3

I create it in a folder on the C:AI directory. It also uses Git and Python 3.10.6

The environment is :
@echo off
set DIR=%~dp0system
set PATH=%DIR%\git\bin;%DIR%\python;%DIR%\python\Scripts;%PATH%
set PY_LIBS=%DIR%\python\Scripts\Lib;%DIR%\python\Scripts\Lib\site-packages
set PY_PIP=%DIR%\python\Scripts
set SKIP_VENV=1
set PIP_INSTALLER_LOCATION=%DIR%\python\get-pip.py
set TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=%DIR%\transformers-cache


Before installing SharkCodecs Stable Diffusion runs fine via the command line starting the run.bat:

The problem is that as soon as I launch the launcher64.exe: C:\Codecs\Shark007Codecs\Launcher64.exe
the desktop icons appears to refresh (even before running reset option) the process for Stable Diffusion is broken:

Seems to affect the permissions of the C:AI folder or somehow screws up the python pip stuff.. 

When I first installed Stable-diffusion it just never worked. Spent a week trying to look at permissions and Python and PIP's. lol.
Its only cus I did a clean install - I got it to work. Then it failed - so I worked backwards to find out what it was causing the issue. 

I am running Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.2152

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. 

Kind Regards,

Hey Sharky,
Sorry that doesnt work. I have been able to replicate the issue on both a windows 10 and 11 build (with no windows defender installed). Its just really odd. I have also raised a support call on the Stable Diffusion Git page. 
By default Python 3.10.6 is needed for SD to run. Others say 3.10.11 can be used. I dont think you can go any higher as it needs to run Python toad or something. 

Anywayzzz... 

SD runs perfectly fine but as soon as I launch the launcher64.exe or even the tools/Settings64_portable.exe The codecs window appears. The desktop kinda look like it refreshes (I can see the icons like flash) and then I close the codec window. 

I go back to SD and - it stops working.  The SD cmd line shows the error:

Are you able to tell me what the launcher/portable exe does? like permissions or registry changes? or anything?
I have re-checked PATHS and env and everything looks OK but yeah Python wont run and for the life of me - I cannot see why running your Codecs launcher would change anything???

It could be something in windows 10 or 11 but currently I cannot put my finger on it. I'll keep looking but yeah if you can tell me what the codec launcher64.exe >  Settings64_portable.exe does 
/Changes this ?/ Adds this ? / Amends that???? I might be in a better place to find something. For reference the SD is installed in a folder on C:\AI and the codecs on C:\Codes (as per your recommendations). 
Tried it on D: and also from the downloads folder - but same issues.

Is there a new codec package that can be installed like the old ones used to? I know you did offer both for a while. Would be a good test to run.

Best I can offer is another suggestion
On the Configure TAB, try [x] Disable LAV Splitter
Let me know if that works. If it does work, I have a few other changes that need to be made to compensate for disabling that splitter.
