What happened?

Installed using Window installer. After it installs pip, I get the following error:

Successfully installed pip-22.3.1
***** Updated pip *****
The system cannot find the path specified.
----- requirements file copy failed -----
Press any key to continue . . .

Seems to be coming from this part of the install.bat file:

set err_msg=----- requirements file copy failed -----
copy installer\py3.10-windows-x86_64-cuda-reqs.txt requirements.txt
if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto err_exit

I don't have an "installer" folder, only "binary_installer" folder where that file resides. I will change this in the bat file, or change the folder name from binary_installer to installer, run it again, and update this case.

UPDATE:

Installed, but little error at end:

***** Finished downloading models *****
***** Installing invoke.bat ******
The system cannot find the file specified.
All done! Execute the file invoke.bat in this directory to start InvokeAI
Press any key to continue . . .

Had to manually copy and rename invoke.bat to root folder.

The issue now is that it's showing me the HTML code instead of the GUI:

UPDATE:

I noticed that invoke.bat was referring to a "python scripts" folder that didn't exist: .venv\Scripts\python scripts\invoke.py --web

But even after fixing that by changing it to: .venv\Scripts\invoke.py --web

I still have the same issue.

I am experiencing this as well.

I too have the requirement file copy failed error. The strange thing is that yesterday it was working (the installation), while today (I had to re-do it, long story) it doesn't work.. Edit: I "solved" using another installer: "invokeAi-src-installer-2.2.3-windows.zip" (you can find it here: https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/INSTALL_SOURCE/#walk-through and also under "assets" here at the main page https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/tag/v2.1.3p1)

Ok, so this installation went smooth with no errors. However, when running the invoke.bat, the http://127.0.0.1:9090/ page gives me the same HTML instead of the GUI.
