It appears the python3.exe is missing but the folder is there with all of it’s contents. why would that be?

It’s looking in the output from GetBinDirectory, the path should be written at the end of that log, before the failure occurred.

Not sure why python3.exe would be missing, this client is running Deadline 10.1.20 and later? Could be that you’ve got a mis-match between your Repository and Client versions.
