Deadline 4.0 SP1 and Vista fix

Deadline
1

hi guys,
we have a 23 blade renderwall running 3dsMax 2010 and newly upgraded Deadline 4.0 SP1
(with bobos help) we got the first 10 boxes to render, while the rest failed to initialize max…
when i talked to IT about this they said that those boxes had vista on them while the first 10 had XP
when i did a forum search i found an old thread
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=3680
that matched my problem but said it will be fixed in SP1.

anyway i tried the fix (replacing the .py file) and it fixed the issue.

so im unsure if we did something wrong with our SP1 install (straight install from 3.1 not an upgrade from 4) or what??

Did you install the Deadline 4.0 SP1 repository over top of your existing 3.1 repository? If so, that could explain the problem. The process for a doing a major upgrade is outlined here:

If you didn’t install a fresh repository, you may want to consider doing this now, as other unexpected problems could potentially arise.
