render doesn't start

I'm working out bugs in my installation...

I'm running XP64 on a Xeon 2.66 processor w/8 gb ram
I installed the MaxwellExport_v1.5.exe. It seems to have installed itself wrong because Maxwell didn't show up as an export option. I'm using SU 6 & the installer created a subfolder for SU5. I copied the exporter & dll into the SU 6 Exporter folder. Once I did that Maxwell showed up as an export option. I went with the defaults in the export options. When I tell it to export Maxwell opens up, but the render doesn't start. I get the interface, but everything's grayed out, & the model doesn't display.

Has anybody gone through this on a 64-bit os?

I believe you've accidentally installed SU5 version instead of SU6. Run the installer again and make sure you have SU6 option selected when installing. SU5 plugin is not directly compatible with SU6 so that most likely caused this problem.

Wouldn't you know this would happen...

I was cleaning out folders that had a lot of junk in them & accidentally deleted the folder where I had the zip file for the plugin install. I realized what I'd done as soon as I'd deleted it. I went to the recycle bin & only about half the files in that folder showed up. So I seem to have lost my install zip somewhere in cyberspace. Do you know a way to recover missing data like that (you used to be able to do an Undelete command back in the good old DOS days.) Otherwise I'll have to hook up with Next Limit tech support on Monday & beg them to send me the link.
