Hey,
I’ve been trying to set up Deadline for nuke over the last few days, but I keep running into an error on one slave.
Deadline will render the same frame over and over again. I have the exact same set up, apart from one machine using
win7 and one win8. apart from that, both machines are running,
Deadline v.5.2
Nuke 7.0v9
The first machine (win7) will render the nuke script without any issues what so ever, however when I try to set it off on the second
machine(win8) I get this error and it will re-render the same frame over and over again.

So I’m guessing that PyOpenColorIO, which is in the format of .pyd, same as .DLL as far as I know, is causing the issue here. Now I’ve tried re-installing nuke,
copying the file from the working machine and so forth, but with no luck. Has anyone run into the same issue, is there a known issue with DLL’s for windows 8 or something?
Or am I completely off, and this has nothing to do with the PyOpenColorIO at all and deadline is looking for some unknown DLL file?
This might be a question for The Foundry, but I thought I’d try my luck here first. If anyone has a clue on how to resolve this, please let me know before I go crazy.
Many Thanks,
Kalle
