Thanks for the quick response. For the first edit (...rosmaster_init_py) which file would I edit? I have not found NUM_WORKERS or code in rosmaster_main with the error.

For the second issue, I have tried to choco install defused.xmlrpc but it is not at the default location.

@PeterVB, if you ever hit any problems of some dependencies not being installed correctly, you can run c:\opt\ros\melodic\x64\setup.bat to source the ROS install, and then run rosdep install --from-paths c:\opt\ros\melodic\x64\ --ignore-src -r -y to let the tool examine and reinstall all the required libraries again.

Yah, so none of that actually worked at all. I am still unable to use ROS.

Frustrating.
