Receiving This Error

I have install CV on Kodi 17.6 running the latest CV 1.1.1.a12. when I try to install the CV context file either from the repository or downloaded zip file I get this error.  CV Launcher The dependency on xbmc.python version 3.0.0 could not be satisfied. What am I doing wrong? BTW this is install on a windows 10 laptop.

[OTA 78]

That's an older version of Kodi.  I would suggest uninstalling CV 1.1.1.a12 and installing CV from the 17 repository.

OTA I uninstalled CV in both kodi 17 and 18 and tried to install from the repository and 17 gave me the same error and version 18.1 said that all the the dependence are not compatible with this version of kodi. I thought CV was working on 18.1? Any other ideas?

Do you have python 3 installed on your machine for something else that's dropped the python directory in your system path?

No I don't have Python 3 installed by any other software on this computer. Is there a way to check the python directory for the right path?

[bullwinkl 22]

Open up a command prompt on your computer and type this:

 

python --version

 

And see it tells you.

Python 3.9.5

[bullwinkl 22]

OK, so if it's showing that, something else has installed python 3 on your machine and added it to your system path.  Unfortunately, this means any fix I give you might break whatever on your system needs python 3 installed.

You can follow the steps on this page to check out your environment variables and see if you can remove whatever path you've got pointing to Python 3, but odds are it WILL break whatever installed it.

Note:  Just follow the instructions on how to get to your system path environment variables...don't add the test studio installation path listed.

Bullwinkl Thank you for helping me with this. I was able to get everything working on kodi 18.1.
