I seem to be missing a dependency (C++ redist?) as I’m getting the following error:
While starting max:
DLL <C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Genome MX\3dsMax2012\Win32\Genome.dlm> failed to initialize.
Error code 14001 - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.
In the event log:
Activation context generation failed for “C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Genome MX\3dsMax2012\Win32\Genome.dlm”. Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture=“x86”,publicKeyToken=“1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,type=“win32”,version=“8.0.50727.6195” could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
And finally in the maxscript listener:
–Genome.DLM failed to load, could not figure out GenomeHome. Not loading the rest…
This seems to be related to VS2005, but I haven’t been able to find the actual redistributable package yet.
LOL!
We were actually missing a flag in the ParamBlock, but the 64 build never complained about it.
Glad you found a workaround, but I would recommend downloading Beta 3 we just posted.
It is also cool that you reported that problem so we have it now fixed, even without the patch you found…
This was a separate problem from the failure to load in Beta 2. In the latest installer, I had temporarily disabled the bundled CRT merge modules while I was testing and I forgot to re-enable them. This will not be an issue in the next build.
