c4d18 can't find Libs300

[weirdcore]

hi there

i'm new to Octane/OtoyForum/WindowOS, so sorry if this is a really beginner question

i can't get Ocotane to work in Cinema4d,,
it's installed & serial is recognised,,
but only 3 items appear in dropdown menu (Octane dialogue, Live viewer window & Octane setting)
but if i select any of these 3 option, Error windows appear,
1st = ERROR:Could not load tab.dll from "C:\Program Files\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R18\plugins\c4doctane\Libs300'.
2nd = C:\Users\XxX\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R18_62A5E681\plugins\c4doctane\Libs300'.

when i open the scene files in the manual,, the scene file seem to open fine, but when i try to render them C4d just freezes

i've installed c4dOctane,, as it should,,, in fact done it a few time
i keep double checking the installation instructions, etc etc
all seem to be fine,, but it doesn't work

has anybody get any advice on how to solve this
thanks
Nic

Hi Nic,
it seems that your installation is not correct.
Please, post a screenshot of the c4doctane directory.
