shapeworks 6.6.1 on Win10 / Installation ERROR: "Unable to find resource t64.exe in pip._vendor.distlib"

[MrMarkusJ]

Hi,

while trying to install shapeworks 6.6.1, follwing the instruction given on

https://sciinstitute.github.io/ShapeWorks/latest/users/install.html#installing-shapeworks-on-windows

and installing Miniconda as suggested:

https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe

The installation always failed. Producing the error message:

Unable to find resource t64.exe in pip._vendor.distlib

Similar as mentioned here:

pypa/pip#11349

By changing the code line of the installation script: "install_shapeworks.bat":

REM install shapeworks deps
call conda create --yes --name %CONDAENV% python=3.9.13 pip=22.1.2 openssl==1.1.1w || goto :error

into:
REM install shapeworks deps
call conda create --yes --name %CONDAENV% python=3.10.6 pip=22.2.1 openssl==1.1.1w || goto :error

the installation completed sucessfully!

Please review the python dependencies for future Win10 users :-)

Best,
Markus
