Thanks for this @evalnerd! I've removed the lines that were throwing the error (they are in fact not needed) and rebuilt the .exe for Windows. Can you try downloading Windows .exe at the link below and see if the GUI launches or at least this error is no longer there? (I'm sure there might be other hiccups, but let's go step by step).

I am pasting in the error traceback Daniella got on the version above that Kris posted. In other words, the fix didn't work this time.
