Installation failure for DLC 2.3.8 with deeplabcut[gui,tf,modelzoo]

### Is there an existing issue for this?

### Bug description

I am trying to install the updated version so i have uninstalled all previous versions, and anaconda too. Then reinstall from step 0. 
Open Anaconda Prompt as Admin
1. Git clone using git clone https://github.com/DeepLabCut/DeepLabCut.git
2. Locate the DEEPLABCUT.yaml file and edit last line 
  - pip:
    - "deeplabcut[gui,tf,modelzoo]"
3. conda env create -f DEEPLABCUT.yaml (After moving to conda environments directory)
4. conda activate DEEPLABCUT
5. cd C:\Users\______\Downloads\DeepLabCut\examples
6. python testscript.py
[Error1]
This gives me an error message regarding Protobf. 
I fix this issue by upgrading protobuf and copy builder.py to another directory. and then downgrade again to same version.  
Following the instructions from(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71759248/importerror-cannot-import-name-builder-from-google-protobuf-internal)

1. Install the latest protobuf version (in this case is 4.25.2)
 pip install --upgrade protobuf
3. Copy builder.py from .../Lib/site-packages/google/protobuf/internal to another folder on your computer (let's say 'Documents')
4. Install a protobuf version that is compatible with your project (for me 3.19.6)
 pip install protobuf==3.19.6
5. Copy builder.py from (let's say 'Documents') to Lib/site-packages/google/protobuf/internal
Then re-run the testscript.py
 [Error2] which i am unable to fix at this moment. 
 
 
Another solution I came up with was to install latest tensorflow and keras. Which launches the GUI but ends up with a [Error3]
