Running comfyUI in a controlled environment

[michael1maass]

Hi,

I tried to install and run ComfyUI under an Environment, where Windows 11 Policies prohibit running files from anywhere but "Program Files " in the user context.
On first startup it tries to create a User_directory within the Program Path, whic,h again is also not allowed for a plain user.

Would it be to much to ask for a separation of configuration, Log and all other Files to be modified during runtime and the actual Software that runs from the c:\program files\comfyUI Folder?!

can these path's eventually be configured within a config file, that is read and digested on startup?

regards

Michael

I don't know why you use install to there.
But you need to avoid any writable things from there.
To achieve that use --user-directory, --extra-model-paths-config, --output-directory, --temp-directory, --input-directory cli options.

I suppose, that was the Information I was looking for, that would obviously be somewhere in the docs, where it completely escaped my attention. Thank you!! Will try again and report!
