Deadline Slave Launch crash on some hosts

[robaitchison]

Hi,

Some hosts displayed this message after a machine restart and auto-update of V8.1.5.3

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “UI/Forms/MainWindowSlaveStartup.py”, line 178, in Startup
File “UI/Forms/MainWindowSlaveStartup.py”, line 237, in ConnectToRepository
IOException: The process cannot access the file ‘C:\Users\render\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline8\cache\uFbMGovOHgY4aGXPpD6kwyTPis\pythonsync\pythonsync.zip’ because it is being used by another process.

Not all, however.
Let me know if you need any more info on this, thanks!

We do have some other reports of this happening, and are currently investigating this error… Just to clarify a bit, did restarting the application on the problem machines cause the error to go away, or did it persist between runs?

Cheers,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Restarting the application made the error go away.
Thanks.
