[Issue]: Control processor DWPose: DLL load failed while importing _ext: The specified module could not be found.

[IowaSovereign]

Issue Description

When in the control tab trying to use DWPose, the installation of some requirements commences, but the processor doesn't load and gives an error. This persists after complete restart of the server. It also also breaks the control tab, and afterwards I'm unable to select any processor or model at all.

Issue can be resolved by manually installing torch and torchvision to CUDA 11.8, and manually reinstalling mmcv via venv.

Version Platform Description

Both the newest at the time master branch and dev branch.
Windows 11 24H2, GTX 1080Ti 11Gb
Issue seems browser agnostic, tried with Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Chrome

sdnext attempts to install openmim and its packages as required by dwpose, but that is for convenience only - and openmim installer is pretty bad.
this is better handled as kb article so its documented what needs to be installed in case automated installer fails:

activate your venv and run following commands to install dwpose dependencies manually:

pip install -U openmim --no-deps
mim install mmengine mmcv mmpose mmdet --no-deps

@Aptronymist, you probably want to add this to wiki as well
