[Bug]: Issue with Python 3.10.6 and Sharkcodecs launcher64.exe

[kingkennyb]

Checklist

• The issue exists after disabling all extensions
• The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
• The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
• The issue exists in the current version of the webui
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

It's took me about 2 weeks to work out what was causing the issue and I have now been able to isolate it to SharkCodecs launcher64.exe. This is a handy all in one codec pack. I have been used it for many years:

https://shark007.net/x64components1.html

When I first tried to install SD it was failing to run Python. Loads of errors. Couldnt see PIP. Couldnt install PIP.

Anywayyyzzzzzz.

New Windows install and decided to install SD first. It works... :) No issues - but as soon as I run the Codecs pack Launcher.exe it seems to mess up Python or permissions or something. I cant see what its doing. I have contacted Shark Codecs owner for help incase its doing something but its only adding codecs for MPC-BE player.

If you happen to have SharkCodecs installed first by running the launcher64.exe at any point - SD will fail to install and Python will chuck up errors. Although Git and Python install fine.

All windows PATHS look OK. All envs look OK. Permissions look OK.

C:\Users\Admin>python --version
Python 3.10.6

I cant see what its doing but suspect a bug in Python 3.10.6 maybe? but the install process says 3.10.6 is needed.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Windows 10 and 11 vmware clean build.
2. Install GIT and Python 3.10.6. Added set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --skip-torch-cuda-test (Not expecting it to work as no pysical GPU but can still see the code and URL http page opens...)

3. Run SharkCodecs install process and launcher64.exe. Close the Codec window.
4. Retry SD and it errors....

I have created a VMware snapshot which I keep rolling back to for testing. If anybody has any ideas? That would be great.

What should have happened?

SD should run as expected and produce the GUI http page.

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

Google Chrome

SD Works. I can get the http page - but as soon as I run the SharkCodecs launcher64,exe - SD stops working again.
