Hi Jess. Are you using an existing Python install or did you let Flow install python the first time you installed the plugin?

[Jessi810]

Existing Python installation.

[taooceros]

Existing Python installation.

Could you share the setting and your python version? I think the error is because flow cannot find specific python executable.

[Jessi810]

I fixed it already. You are right, the Python path I had doesn't have the exe files. And it was using this path for my Python: C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310

Perhaps we should display a more constructive error message in these cases?

Yeah good idea, let's add a fix to check for exe during python path selection.
