Hello Experts,
Today i fresh download portable comfyui in my C Drive and i have my models folder saved in my E Drive so now i just Modify my (extra_model_paths.yaml) file like below

other_ui:
base_path: E:\comfyuimodels\models
checkpoints: models/checkpoints/
clip: models/clip/
clip_interrogator: models/clip_interrogator/
clip_vision: models/clip_vision/
configs: models/configs/
controlnet: models/controlnet/
diffusers: models/diffusers/
diffusion_models: models/diffusion_models/
embeddings: models/embeddings/
gligen: models/gligen/
hypernetworks: models/hypernetworks/
LLM: models/LLM/
llm_gguf: models/llm_gguf/
loras: models/loras/
photomaker: models/photomaker/
style_models: models/style_models/
unet: models/unet/
upscale_models: models/upscale_models/
vae: models/vae/
vae_approx: models/vae_approx/

and now when i try to run (run_nvidia_gpu.bat) then i got this error below

C:\ComfyUI_windows_portable>.\python_embeded\python.exe -s ComfyUI\main.py --windows-standalone-build

and when i disable (extra_model_paths.yaml) file i mean when i rename it again to (extra_model_paths.yaml.example) then comfyui running perfectly and generating images.

I'm not an expert, but I would try replacing \ with / in your base_path, like in the other folder paths.

i tried it but the issue still not solve. so now i fixed it with the below.

other_ui:
base_path: E:\comfyuimodels
checkpoints: models/checkpoints/
clip: models/clip/
clip_interrogator: models/clip_interrogator/
clip_vision: models/clip_vision/

[ltdrdata]

it seems that your .yaml file is broken.

@ltdrdata He just mistakenly put the models path (E:\comfyuimodels\models) instead of the base path (E:\comfyuimodels). Now he fixed it and it works.
