Repair setuptools in your current venv
venv\Scripts\python.exe -m ensurepip --upgrade
If repair fails — rebuild the venv (most reliable)
This usually fixes the problem 100%. Your models and images are safe, nothing gets deleted. Optional: Prevent Windows from breaking Python in the future Add this to webui-user.bat before the call to Python: set PIP_IGNORE_INSTALLED=0 This forces SD to use its own environment and ignore system Python interference. TL;DR: Your venv’s setuptools is broken. Repair it or rebuild the venv — that’s all that’s stopping CLIP from installing. |

Hey dpatton2101, were you able to find a solution for that? I also end up with the same GitHub authorization window error. |

I edited the launch_utils file again and set the following: The authorization window disappeared but I got a new error. venv "D:\AI\Auto1111_V11\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts\Python.exe" Successfully installed markdown-it-py-4.0.0 mdurl-0.1.2 polars-1.38.1 polars-runtime-32-1.38.1 pygments-2.19.2 rich-14.3.2 ultralytics-8.4.14 ultralytics-thop-2.0.18 Successfully installed absl-py-2.4.0 cffi-2.0.0 flatbuffers-25.12.19 pycparser-3.0 sounddevice-0.5.5 |

CMD commands. the first one is extra important, the /d, don't forget python wants to default to its own environment, you have to indicate you want it to work with the webui's environment when executing most of these package commands, the /d ensures you're working within that environment. cd /d "C:\Stable Diffusion\webui" If that prints setuptools ok: 69.5.1, then install CLIP again: .\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --no-build-isolation https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip (the above command starts at .\venv\ and ends with .zip, it should be all one line/command) this time around, the clip installation package name should look different (that's how you know you're on the right track, I think it'll say open_clip) |

The solution that worked for me was this: If it doesn't work with the commands from above, use these ones instead (these ones actually solved it for good for me): Basically from what I could find out, the problem is mainly from the setuptools that removed the "pkg_resources" in their latest builds. |

Had the same problem and i fixed it by doing this: Run commands below in Scripts folder: pip install setuptools==69.5.1 Now when you run webui starting script it should throw another error which is caused by missing repository, i searched and someone found fork of the original repo so you can just run this command again in scripts folder inside your webui: pip install git+https://github.com/joypaul162/Stability-AI-stablediffusion.git It works for me on Python 3.10.19. |

I have tried all of the above instructions but not getting past the darned "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'" Now I did notice that when I start the webui.bat it tries to install CLIP again, but I manually installed it. Is the answer maybe in getting it to not install CLIP? |

CLIP build failures are frustrating! At RevolutionAI (https://revolutionai.io) we have debugged this many times. Most common fixes:
pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git
nvcc --version # Should match your PyTorch CUDA
python -c "import torch; print(torch.version.cuda)"
pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpuWhat is your CUDA version and the full error message? That would help narrow it down! |
