Just in case anyone is trying to get this to work, these are the steps I followed. These steps assume you have a rough idea of what you are trying to accomplish and how to get there; this is not a detailed step-by-step guide. I’m using Windows 11 with a 6700XT and the 23.11.1 drivers.
This was handy:

Install miniconda.
https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#windows-installers
Edit 11/28: Start an Anaconda Powershell Prompt.
Clone the ComfyUI code somewhere (you’ll need git installed).
mkdir d:\ai
cd d:\ai
git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git
cd comfyui
Start a conda environment for python 3.10 and activate it:
conda create --name dml python=3.10
conda activate dml
Verify the python version is 3.10 within the new environment:
python --version
Start installing other bits and pieces (the requirements.txt is in the comfyui root folder):
conda install numpy pandas tensorboard matplotlib tqdm pyyaml -y
pip install opencv-python
pip install wget
pip install torchvision
conda install pytorch cpuonly -c pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
Start comfyUI with:
python main.py --directml
You should then get the URL to be able to view ComfyUI.
