So this is a follow-up from last thread with trying to get
any of the UIs loaded on Windows 7. For the full story, you can read them here:

>>1057609
>>1057623
>>1057972
>>1058218
So I'll cut right to the chase that these are the issues I'm experiencing:
>OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found. Error loading "C:\Users\(My Profile)\Desktop\sd\venv\Lib\site-packages\torch\lib\c10_cuda.dll" or one of it's dependencies
This is the part where I'm largely stuck. Trying to find out where the problem is, I downloaded this program called "Dependency Walker":
https://www.dependencywalker.com/
<And plugged in the c10_cuda.dll file, with first image listing where the problem is.
And this is the problem that I'm having with Stable Diffusion, reForge, and Easy Diffusion (
Though Easy is fussing over a different file, instead it's "cudart64_110.dll"). I did find a source stating that the problem can be solved by downloading the specific DLL files that are "missing/problematic", but it also said that it needs the files to be in the folder of the relevant program or it will cause system-wide issues:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/412661-TMPGenc-Authoring-Works-7-on-Windows-7
And I do not know where I could "safely" download these files nor where I should put them.
And in case anyone is wondering, no, these files having nothing to do with Windows 10 or 11 and me being SOL. These were APIs released with Windows 8 and 8.1:

So I decided to move on and try other UIs. My experience with Comfy gave my this error:
>python.exe - Entry Point Not Found: The procedure entry point PssQuerySnapshit could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL
However unlike SD/reF/ED, I don't know what file I'm looking for in regards modifying it so it will use Cpython instead.
The only other UI I've tried is qDiffusion, which refuses to move beyond requiring me to install Pillow and k_Diffusion. Whenever I load it up, the installer requires me to install one of the two plugins, I wait for it to finish, close the installer once it's finished, and re-open the program to find that it now "needs" to install the
other plugin. And it never moving beyond this point unless I disable "Enforce versions?", which creates the error that you see in the third image.
Until this thread was created, I tried asking some Anons over on PLW for suggestions, and here's some advice that I received:
<If you can't get pip, try using Pipx.
https://github.com/pypa/pipx
<And easy way to change python versions is to use Pyenv.
https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
<Here's another thing you can try. Delete the python file in the venv folder of your UI. It actually fixed a problem I had before.
I managed to get Pipx installed, but I have zero clue how to use it in relation to any of the UIs.
