Once again....my heartfelt thanks.

I'm trying to figure something out that's driving me up a wall. Every time I try to upload to Mega, I get an error saying, "not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings>Mana" and then it cuts out. I don't even know what isn't found.

Hi @mrbishop

Thank you for reaching out and sharing the issue you're experiencing with my tool. It seems like there might be a problem with the integration or a missing component that the tool is trying to access.

Could you please provide me with a few more details:

1. Which version of the software are you currently using? The latest available version is v1.9.
2. What operating system are you on? (Windows, MacOS, Linux, ...)
3. Are you using the executable (.exe) version or the Python script (.py) version?
4. What is the file named, that you try to upload?
5. Do you see some errors in the logs? The logs are available after v1.8 in the folder ~/Documents/DazArtificer/Logs/DazArtificer.log

Looking forward to your response, so I can assist you better!

Best regards,
Lewd18Ratio

1: v1.9 is the one I just installed and ran.
2: Windows 11
3: Executable
4: John 9 Pro Bundle - 94089 - Original DIM (as named by Artificer)
5: 2024-04-23 13:30:34 - ERROR - Upload failed: Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases. The irony is I installed with the installer, also used the portable (which should be self contained) and they both gave the same error.

[That Guy]

I'm forcing a Python 3.10 install right now to see if that cures it.

[That Guy]

Okay, forced that, got this one now:

ERROR - Upload failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\Daz 3D\DazArtificer\Assets\Modules\mega_upload.py", line 2, in <module>
from mega import Mega
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mega'

Go Team Troubleshooters! One more step to go, hopefully.

[Lewd18Ratio]

Thanks for your reply.

Looks like the module mega is not installed. Weird, normally you won't need to install python or any modules in the executable, because the pyinstaller compiles them with.

Please try to install the requirements via pip.
Via CMD please enter the Assets folder where the requirements.txt is located.
Then enter this command: pip install -r requirements.txt

In the meantime I will also try to replicate the problem with a clean machine that has no python.

[That Guy]

The Pip install seems to have worked. It's a huge file right now, so it's taking its time to upload. I'm not sure why the installer didn't do the installation, but it is what it is. I'll let you know how it turns out.

[That Guy]

It seems to work now after the manual installs. To be sure, make sure this link works for someone other than me, please:
