Mass storage device

Hi,

Since my laptop's screen is not working, I am using the laptops hard drive through a portable usb mass storage device and connecting it to the different computers I use. Maxwell Studio works through the F:// drive, but when I want to use the rhino plugin version Maxwell fails to load.

Can you help me resolve this.

Thanks,
Keith

So, if I understand correctly, you have never actually installed Maxwell for Rhino on the machine you are trying to run it from? If so, that won't work; you need to install the plugin on the machine you are trying to run it from using the installer provided; it will not work if you just try to load the plugin from a random hard drive via File > Properties > Plug-ins > Install. This is because there is more to the plugin than just the Maxwell.Rhino.dll in the plugin folder; there are some other necessary files which the installer sets up on the target machine.

Let me know if I've misunderstood the situation.

Cheers,

JD

And don't forget to plug the laptop to a TV screen or monitor. :P
