Ok, this one is going to be hard to debug, as I expect there are special characters in your path. In the first instance please try to do this:

Start > Anaconda Prompt

In the terminal that pops up:

Code: Select all

conda activate faceswap
cd faceswap
python -c "from lib.sysinfo import sysinfo ; print(sysinfo)"

paste output here.

My word is final
