Problem installer Whisper offline

[cayerpm]

I need to install Whisper on offline Windows computers.

I am able to install all dependancies, but when I try to install the whisper package I get an error stating that the installer could not find a valid version of setuptools:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools>=40.8.0 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools>=40.8.0
However, setuptools is indeed installed with version 67.6.1:

`D:\Whisper\v20230314\whisper-dependances>pip list

I tried uninstalling everything, including Python, and restarting from scrtch and I always get the same issue.

Anyone have an idea?

Thx

Yeah, I read that post, but this does not solve my issue.
