Removing Krakatoa throws error

[JohnnyRandom]

Max2010 x64 win7 x64 Krakatoa 1.5.2.39428 (1.5.2 Beta 1)
Upon removing Krakatoa (lol hoping to get my macrorecorder security blanket back to grab some actions) I ran the uninstall utility, restarted max and got this error:

[code]---------------------------
MAXScript MacroScript Compile - C:\Users******\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2010 - 64bit\enu\UI\usermacros\Krakatoa-SchematicFlow.mcr, offset 2095; Exception

OK

The Editor returned this:
Krakatoa-SchematicFlow.mcr

Line 79 menuitem mnu_RenderNow "RENDER FRAME NOW!" enabled:((FranticParticles.GetProperty "ParticleMode") != "Save Particles To File Sequence")

I have the Schematic View, Restore Previous Render, Open Krakatoa UI, and Mat editor render Toggle buttons on my main toolbar if that is any help. So I guess the workaround is to never remove Krakatoa

First of all, to get MacroRecorder back, just uncheck the VFB Extensions option in the Preferences rollout and restart Max. The MacroRecorder does not work when the VFB Extensions are loaded, not because Krakatoa is loaded.

As for the Macros, the Macroscripts are copied by the startup script of Krakatoa and thus cannot be removed by the Installer because it doesn’t know about them.
You could delete the Krakoatoa*-*.mcr from that folder manually and if you are never going to use Krakatoa again (yeah right) delete the Krakatoa Toolbar that uses them, too.

I’ll have to double check (the machine in question is at home), but I am 99% sure VFB extensions are not enabled, for one they do not appear when I open the rendered frame window, two I believe they are disabled by default and I have not enabled them since I installed the latest beta. So I am not sure what is happening, as I mentioned I will double check when I get home tonight.

I figured as much about the macros, it isn’t much of an issue, as I hardly if ever uninstall Krakatoa from an installation, just thought I would mention it. You can add this to my ‘hardly worth mentioning’ list of bugs reports

Yep VFB is disabled and macrorecorder is still NFU (non-functional unit) not completely though the macrorecorder DOES work UNTIL I switch to Krakatoa as renderer, a restart is required to get it functioning again. Just FYI, way more other things worthwhile to spend time on
