Trying to install older version of SD to recreate images but failing miserably.

Hi,
It's been a while since I played with SD, and would like to go back to it. I am trying to install older version of SD. Specifically 1.4 and 1.5.2 and I keep getting errors.

And 1.5.2 I get a similar error:

The install method I used is Method 2, but in step 2 instead of using "git clone", I basically just download the zip file from the releases.

I think there are extra step I need to take, but not sure what they are.
Thank you.

Problem is likely related to old dependencies no longer being available. You should be able to track them down. Set up your virtual environment manually (inside your activated virtual env: `pip install -r requirements_versions.txt') rather than allowing the A1111 scripts to install for you. If you haven't set up many python environments before, you will find your favorite LLM is your friend. Or just download an old version of Invoke and be done with it.
