Hi,
I am trying to set-up combustion render through deadline with no success. I receive the following message on all slaves (see attached).
Exception during render: An error occurred in RenderTasks(): Error in RenderExecutable(): Combustion 2008 render executable was not found in the semicolon separated list “C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Combustion 2008\ShellRenderer.exe”. The path to the render executable can be configured from the Plugin Configuration in the Deadline Monitor. (FranticX.Processes.ManagedProcessAbort) (Deadline.Plugins.RenderPluginException)
at Deadline.Plugins.ScriptPlugin.RenderTasks(Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage)
Please give me some solution for this and send mail to srinivas.enakolu@primefocusworld.com

The error message is saying that Deadline is looking for the Combustion render executable using this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Combustion 2008\ShellRenderer.exe
So either Combustion isn’t installed on the machines, or it isn’t installed to that location. Either install Combustion or change the 2008 executable setting in the Combustion plugin configuration so that it contains the correct path. Note that you can specify semi-colon separated lists of paths for these settings, and Deadline will use whichever path it finds first. So for example, you could do this:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Combustion 2008\ShellRenderer.exe;C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Combustion 2008\ShellRenderer.exe
This will cover cases where Combustion is installed to the default location on 32 and 64 bit machines.
Cheers,
