Quote:try to downgrade to importlib 7.10replaced the importlib folders with the older versions, but that sadly did not help.
Quote:Upgrade a package a time (starting from python) till you will find the incompatible package.Usually I don't upgrade, I reinstall everything.

I tried a clean installation with Vapoursynth R70.
* created 'Vapoursynth'-folder
* downloaded 'Windows embeddable package (64-bit)' from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3125/
* extracted it into the 'Vapoursynth'-folder
* downloaded 'VapourSynth64-Portable-R70' from https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/releases
* extracted it into the 'Vapoursynth'-folder
* finished Vapoursynth portable installation:
* adjusted `python312._pth` by adding:
```
Scripts
Lib\site-packages
```
* installed pip:

* left out gsmfss since it breaks stuff:
* `python -m pip install -U vsgmfss-fortuna`
Since Hybrids last version is still on R68, it really is time to update.

Are the steps for vs-deoldify correct, or did I miss something.
