Wow...thank you very much, now it works great

Thanks for the fast answer

Same problem here!

Installing the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable did the trick. Great that I found this post, and super that Juanjgon cracked it! Still works after more than 4 years .

Concidentally, went from an i7, NVidia GTX 670MX laptop to a newly built !9-16 core, 1080Ti desktop, to make the most out of the Octane plugin.

Originally, I had copied over my .newtek and plugins folders from my laptop. I then got an error upin starting LW that said there was a failure to load the Octane Master plugin.
I uninstalled, reinstalled everything cleanly, and tried adding the plugin manually, and then got the error that led me here.

I have LW2018, but still have to use 2015 for Octane, so I am eagerly awaiting the LW2018 Octane plugin!!!

Cheers
Johan

Be aware that now the latest plugin builds work with the Visual C++ 2015 redistributable, not the 2012

Thanks,

Odd.

I had that one installed! (came with LW2015.3). I had 2008/2010/2013/2015. The problem only went away when I added 2012.

Perhaps it's the 2013 that gets in the way and forces the plugin loader to use the wrong version ,as you suggested a bit higher up in this thread.

But thanks for the swift reply!

Actually, I have 2013 on my laptop as well, where everything worked fine. Odd.

Anyhows, I reinstalled everything, and copied over my .newtek and plugins folders and Octane is now up and running! Can't wait for the 2018Ti to render my scenes!
