Hi, this is usually related to an installation issue. Make sure you do not have python modules installed locally that could conflict with the ones installed in the venv:

1. Open a new powershell terminal and make sure no venv is active.
2. Run the following commands

pip freeze > uninstall.txt
pip uninstall -r uninstall.txt

Then redo the installation instruction within the kohya_ss venv.

same problem arises even after installing this, this is on its own venv without anything else being used

Humm... I wonder if the issue is not related to spaces in the file path... Let me check the code... Are you running from a powershell script or a CDM window? The error almost make it appear as if it is not finding the file specified... What happen if you manually run the command it is outputing before the error? the command should start with ./venv/Scripts/python.exe finetune/merge_captions_to_metadata.py Copy the whole thing and try to run it... does it work?
