Hello there Cyprine

[Laticis]

I even restarted the PC just in case....still the same.

same as Laticis (hello there !)

that seems to be sthg. different; more like the updater could not replace all needed files. either try to run the updater with right click and select "run as adminstrator" (should not be necessary) or try to clean out the studio install by hand (ideally moving away the old files, not deleting them - just in case).

the proper (minimal) file structure should be:
...\DAZStudio4*or whatever it is called*\octane.dll
...\DAZStudio4*or whatever it is called*\octane.dat
...\DAZStudio4*or whatever it is called*\vcomp100.dll
...\DAZStudio4*or whatever it is called*\plugins\OctaneRender\plordazs.dll

esp. the plordazs.dll needs to be there and only once there (= in no other folder in daz main).

ps: you can check the plordazs.dll version by right clicking it in explorer, select "properties" and then "details"...
for 2.1 the file version must read 2.1.212.4166 (and 2.12.0.1 for the octane.dll)
and for 1.5 it needs to be 1.5.155.4166 (and 1.55.0.0 for the octane.dll)

Hi

Getting a different version number...will verify everything else now.

[t_3]

correction: the 1.5 plordazs.dll also shows 2.212-and-so-on in win explorer. apparently the resource compiler doesn't respect the regarding switches. another way to identify it:

the 1.5 plordazs.dll is of 20.024.832 bytes length, whereas
the 2.1 plordazs.dll is of 20.238.848 bytes length...

The other files....

[cyprine]

plordazs reads 19 550 208 octets (excuse my french win7 ^^)

i should maybe add that i had v1.2 running before using the updater. did i skip any important manipulation ?

[Laticis]

These files where removed from the DAZ Directory / the Updater was run to replace them just in case / still getting the same error.

Same findings as Cyprine.
