I’m having the same problem as you. Although the officials have found this problem, they haven’t solved it yet.

As mentioned in the other post, it is temporary error we are working on, but we not have ISAAC SIM 5.0 ! Just install that GitHub - isaac-sim/IsaacSim: NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ is an open-source application on NVIDIA Omniverse for developing, simulating, and testing AI-driven robots in realistic virtual environments. Don’t install the old version

thanks for the reply, but im still confuse how can i use isaaclab with this new version of isaacsim, i just need to follow the current tutorial of isaaclab? Installation using Isaac Sim pip — Isaac Lab Documentation
