Re: IES distribution visualisation (3.02 -4.0-4.5) not work

Thank you for the report!
Actually this is already another issue, not related to the previous one. The previous bug was related to specific locale settings on some machines. It is fixed now in 4.5.
But I've investigated the latter mentioned logged error - the 16.ies file from your archive is slightly melformed, this is why it is not recognised properly by this new plugin's IES visualisation mechanism... But this file still fits into overall IESNA standard - so I'm going to improve the plugin's new IES visualisation code to be able to recognise such a files too... I'm going to release this in a new version on Monday (NZ time).
Other than that - the vast majority of other IES files should now work OK starting from the recent 4.5 version.
