I have posted the installer for OctaneRender for DAZ Studio 2.24.2.1 at the top of this thread.

The intent of this first release is to ensure that my build environment is producing a stable release for users. So pls consider this first release "experimental" and use with caution, and expect issues. Pls post feedback in this thread.

I have just tried to install and get this message.

I am now using Windows 10 64bit and DAZ is definitely installed in the right folder.

I am using DAZ 4.8.0.59.

My apologies - there was an issue with the installer. Can you pls re-download from the link above and try again.

Thanks

Thank you for fixing this so promptly.

I tried to install both OctaneRender standalone and OctaneRender_for_DazStudio_2_24_2_1_Win64 on a new workstation on which Octane was not yet installed.

Standalone install and activation run without issues.

Installation of OctaneRender_for_DazStudio_2_24_2_1_Win64 in Daz Studio Pro BETA - version 4.9.0.36 got stuck at the activation process.

Error:

Could not create the settings file!

Update/Edit:
removed workaround so the cause of the issue can be tracked down.

Update/Edit: 2:

This error seems only to be triggered when installing on a NEW workstation on which before OcDS was NOT installed.

If on your computer
- OcDS was allready installed with an older installer
- a OctaneRender_settings.oczdb file was created
- OcDS was activated
- registry entires were created

you will not be able to reproduce the error.

Could not create the settings file!
C:Users/USERNAME/OctaneRender/Data/OctaneRender_settings.oczdb

Try running OctaneACM (from C:\Users\Paul\Documents\OctanePluginInstallerBuilds\DazStudio) as Administrator.

Update/Edit:

- removed a workaround I found that solved the issue temporarily but will prevent tracking down the root cause.

I will try again on the laptop to see if I can replicate the issue and solve it by running OctaneACM

from C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4".
