Can't install/run - missing "pkg_resources"

[snorlaxjones]

Issue in title, ran the install script successfully but I get this error with any attempt to run it:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am getting the same issue. Running Windows 10 on a laptop machine with Python 23.3.2 here. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Run pip install setuptools first then try registering using dptrp1 register
