Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"d:\bld\spleeter_1574438388570_h_env\python.exe" C:\Users----\Anaconda3\Scripts\spleeter.exe" -h'

2. Run as Administrator
3. Got ... Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"d:\bld\spleeter_1574438388570_h_env\python.exe"

I've got the same error

Also ran into this issue. Tried to remove the package and reinstall but same problem. I installed in addition to the normal package the spleeter-gpu as well to test and some spleeter commands seemed to work but of course it was looking for the CUDA driver. Seems like the main package is just missing a file.

Hi everyone, this seems to be an issue of anaconda execution priviledge. Possibly you have installed Anaconda for administrator only (not ALL users).

People in this stackoverflow thread have successfully overcome this using either:

Method 1

force reinstall of the package using pip:

pip install --force-reinstall spleeter

Method 2

erase and reinstall Anaconda:

1. Use Add/Remove program to uninstall Anaconda
2. Install Anaconda again and make sure to select "Install for all users" during process.

Hope this helps

This doesn't appear to help. Like @psylion, I have nothing in my "D:" drive (in fact it's an optical drive) so I don't understand why it's looking there at all.

Hm yeah. After uninstall/reinstall of miniconda and spleeter same issues. No folder in D:\ either as noted above. Reinstalled and made sure installed for all users. Prompt ran as admin.

I have installed miniconda for all users from the start and I get the same error :-/

Method 1 Works for me
I just pip install --force-reinstall spleeter and now it works

Thanks @mmoussallam

I could install it now, but I get an error at runtime about failing to load the TensorFlow lib (despite it was installed successfully).
I installed Python 3.7.5, installed spleeter using pip from an administrator shell.

The same error :( 12.07.2019

Same error for me, is there an issue ?

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"d:\bld\spleeter_1574775894867_h_env\python.exe" "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\spleeter.exe" separate -i spleeter/

Bug Closed: Solution provided above

[ojaillet]

OK, finally works with PIP method , but it wasn't so simple ! Thanks

hey bro, you use the method that force spleeter install on stackoverflow?

[classikd]

I had the same error, i solved it by running:
python -m spleeter separate

Instead of :
spleeter separate

[Kaszanas]

@classikd solution worked just fine from within the Anaconda Prompt.

After several attempts using conda, miniconda, and pip with various kinds of errors. pip --force-reinstall finally got it working,

I'm curious...can this be released as a command-line Windows exe in the future? Or do the number of deps make this difficult to package? (I don't do a lot of python, so forgive me.)

Same problem here when using miniconda installed for all users. Where does the "D:\blb..." stuff come from? It seems to occur on all installations with the problem, and it definitely has nothing to do with my computer. D: is the optical drive. It has to be hardcoded in some source or binary somewhere.
