Windows 8.1 launching Monitor

Hello
Very strange thing happen
I try to install deadline in a machine with windows 8.1
And everything works ground.
Example: Try to open monitor, open’s slave (sometime)

It’s very weird.
Can some one tell me if deadline works in windows 8.1

It certainly does. One of our lead Deadline developers uses Deadline on 8.1 daily.

Can you explain the problems you’ve been seeing? Perhaps screen shots?

Something we’ve noticed is that because the installer is running as the administrator user, it may not have access to network drives if that admin user also does not have access (password reasons). The workaround is to point the client installer to “C:” as the Repository, and then set it to the correct path when starting up the Monitor for the first time.

We have it on 3 machines here with 8.1 and no problem.

i notice that the 5 five times i try to install
the installer cannot access the right map drive
for example: map drive r:\ is located on server with this url
\192.168.1.250\Groups\3d\

the installer only see this part: \192.168.1.250\Groups\

i will try that way, see if that work

Hi,
Could you check what your “decimal symbol” is set to in your OS Region/Language? Please see attached image. If it’s not set to “.”, then please try changing it to “.”, rebooting your machine and see if that helps?

Did not work
:frowning: :frowning:

My current guess is that PyQt4 is being accidentally loaded from the wrong location due to a PYTHONPATH or PYTHONHOME variable being set.

Could you run ‘set’ from the command prompt (cmd.exe) and paste any values having to do with Python here?

No reference to any python path
only to deadline

were the image

I found that i have another program that use PyQt4
GNS3 for networking
