Hello,

i'm trying to install the Sketchup Plugin, but i get an error after the installation.
The Sketchup installation is done without errors. When i press the Launch Button the following error occurs:
THE MAIN EXECUTABLE COULDN'T BE FOUND

How can i correct this?

I Installed and activate the Octane Software.
I use Sketchup Pro 2016 (installed on a SSD)
My OS is windows 10
Graphics Card NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980.

regards,
Dieter

I'm not sure what's going on there, but it may only be a glitch in the final launch step. Try running SketchUp normally, and see if the plugin is present.

thank you,
CaptainCrowbar. I solved the problem.
i don't kno why, but the octane plugin wasn't in the correct plugin directory. it was stored under
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\Plugins
i moved it to
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\Plugins
now it works.
