When i start ComfyUI, i get this error:

I've put the 3 models under ComfyUI\models\schp without renaming them.
I even manually installed requirements, there's nothing missing.

Ok, i fixed it.
Following through on the other error reports, it appears my problem was lacking access to cl.exe.
So i lookup up where cl.exe is installed and added that path to my path environment variable. Probably not an ideal approach, as the path appears to change per release. Using the dev console might be the better option, as that automatically adds every path it needs, including to the cl.exe.

How do  I resolve this issue in windows version of comfyUI which is standalone one .. All steps were done but still this error is not going away. Please advise

[azra1l]

read my second comment.

you also need to install visual studio build tools first. and CUDA (i guess).

[jags111]

all are already installed and running without any hassles. VS build tools already exist and the issue is still not clear

[azra1l]

so, if you open command prompt and enter cl.exe, what happens?

[gabidobo]

@azra1l happy you managed to get it working!

@jags111 did you also figure it out?
