Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up ComfyUI and I am NOT well-versed with Python. I've tried reinstalling PyTorch numerous times with pip, I used the exact same command, by copying and pasting, which is shown in the installation tutorial. I've tried using various specific version of this module and I am getting this same error. Google isn't helpful. GPT-o1 isn't helpful either. I have no idea what to do further and I humbly ask for help since I am literally out of ideas.

GPU: RTX 2070 8 GB VRAM
nVidia driver: 32.0.15.6636
OS: Windows 11 64-bit (22631)
Python version: 3.12.6
CUDA version: 12.6

You should use the ComfyUI portable instead of manual installing ComfyUI, it's easier. You can just download it from here, extract ComfyUI_windows_portable folder to the root of your disk (it's recommended to avoid user folders) and run run_nvidia_gpu.bat

And to install ComfyUI-Manager, you just have to follow method 2 of these instructions
