Is there any geometry in the scene when you start it? If not it fails. I never thought it would be opened in an empty scene.
Try making a box, then start it and see if it works.
The script is not 100% foolproof yet.

Thanks, I think extremely useful indeed...
Now with the 0.42 it does open and extract without error BUT when octane open I have this:
There was an error parsing the command-line arguments:
Couldn't find match for argument Argument: Settings\m\My
???
Tried 2 different scene, converted to scanline and camera is not a Vray (in my case that I have several Vray scene already made)
and also made a new scene from scratch with a simple plane and a teapot to test...no joy

Go to your octane root, check the oct.bat which the script generated(rightclick and edit).
Paste the content here and I`ll check it.
edit:
it looks like a path on your drive, settings/m/My...
if so, it`s probably the space in "My documents" which breaks the code.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this? How do you write paths with spaces (i.e My Documents) in DOS?
"My_Documents" or "My~doc" ?
