GUI cannot be installed with 2.6.1

[BobLoblaw411]

I upgraded my Javinizer CLI to 2.6.1 a couple days ago and I´m very happy that it solved my Javlibrary issues I was trying to address with the flaresolverr workaround in the past. The GUI however I had installed seemed to have stayed on 2.5.7 with all the flaresolverr workarounds still in place and it didn´t work properly anymore.

So I uninstalled Javinizer CLI, uninstalled the Universal server and started from scratch. The Javinizer CLI is now working just fine again after the reinstall but I´m running into issues when trying to re-install the GUI.

FTR: I ended up fixing the issue by uninstalling Javinizer again, manually removing any leftovers in the POwershell\Modules directory and using Revo-Uninstaller to uninstall the Universal Server.
After a reboot I installed Javinizer from scratch, including the latest Python, Pillow, googletrans. After that I was able to install the GUI and eventually had to recreate my settings by manually editing jvSettings.json with the values I had previously.

I never found out what the original issue was
