3dsmax 2008, x64 lightningmax.dlx problem

hi there!

the problem is with startin the on some of slave machines. trouble loading lightning.dlx.

i have read other topics about it, and tryed to resolve my problem by the ways i have found there. but still it does not work.

i have 3 render nodes and 1 server machine. i have started slave on all of them and this what happening: one render node and server machine start to render just fine. other to slaves are going down with the error. i have tryed to dig into it with Dependency Walker, to see what is the differens beetwen machines and i have noticed that the slaves that do not render have the following error in Dependency walker:

“Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for “c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\application data\frantic films\deadline\temp\lightning\LIGHTNING.DLX” contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).”

Which version of Deadline are you using, and which operating systems are you rendering on? If you could post the full error report from the render job, that might help too.

Also, what have you tried already to fix the problem? I’d don’t want to make you repeat things that you have already done. :slight_smile:

That being said, the first thing to do would be to install the VC++ 2005 Redistributable packages, which are mentioned here (under Important Notice for Deadline® 2.7 and 3.x Users):

I am using Deadline v.3.1
os - winXP 64 edition.

I have already installed VC++2005(x64)

but wait… it is working.

everything that was needed was windows update (framework)!!!

have a nice day man!
