ConfyUI-Extension installation outdated

[schoenid]

Trying to install some of the newer nodes causes venv to be destroyed.

I had a coomment there:

Ah you are using the extension. That is a pretty old extension which hasn't had an update in 7mo.

It is old and pretty much no longer maintained.
That being said, there is an option in the settings to select separated venvs for A1111 and ComfyUI to work together nicely.

Ah, maybe there isn't one? I don't remember

If you install ComfyUI separately with its own venv, and reference the install location in the settings, it should work, assuming the extension still works at all
