Unable to find an entry point named 'ExportVenvByNameToAFile'

Question

Hi Alteryx Community,

I'm encountering an issue when trying to export an analytic app that includes Python tools. The error message I receive is:

"Unable to find an entry point named 'ExportVenvByNameToAFile' in DLL 'VirtualEnvironmentManager.dll'."

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to resolve it? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

this is definitely a weird one --- it's trying to export your local python venv (or the alteryx python venv) to a file --- which is weird. what version Alteryx, what version Server? anything weird that you are using in your python tool itself for environment management (uv, Poetry?)
