Download and install one of the following redistributable, depending on your system:

32-bit package.
64-bit package.

Hi!
Ludi is it working now ? I have the same problem with my VIZ 2006 and I am searching for solution. This one from Bogdan didn't solve it. thou thx for that.

[ludi]

Hey Bogdan I'm so sorry for my lazy reply!

No it didnt't work. I have this problem on two different machines. On Max it works.


Thank you for your Support

Guys, what OS do you have? (x32/x64)

This doesn't seem to be a Maxwell problem, since we have users that run VIZ 2008 without a problem, and I'm one of them. So, after some google search, it seems that having Max9 installed on the same system with VIZ 2008, fixes the problem.

luid, you said that on Max it works. Which version of Max? Is it installed on the same computer as VIZ 2008?

[ludi]

I have WinXP 32, German
And on my 2nd machine Max 2008

[zdeno]

I have windows XP Home SP2 32bit.
I have instaled service pack 1 to my VIZ 2006
I have googled for error 126 but any solutions failed.
Viz 2006 is the same as 3dmax 7.0

[Bogdan Coroi]

ludi, could you try to install a trial version of Max2008 on the same machine as VIZ 2008 and start it at least once?
zdeno, the same thing for you, but using Max7.

If it works, you can uninstall the max version you've installed.

[zdeno]

ok i will try as soon as I get trial max 7.0
thx for tip

[fellazb]

You have to use the MAX 9 installation path to get it working for VIZ 2008...

Hi!

I installed 3dmax 7.0 on the same machine as VIZ 2006.
It didn't work.

Later I tried to switch some .dll's , reset 3dviz.ini and many other things.
I used dependency walker to see needed files.

I am stuck . PLugin 1.6.6 works just fine but 1.6.10 does not.

while googling internet I saw sometimes users have error 126 when they instaled service pack to Viz/Max. Mayby there is solutions, but why 1.6.6 working?

[Bogdan Coroi]

Just curious, have you tried 1.6.10 in Max7 on the same VIZ 2006 machine?

[zdeno]

of course ... it works just fine with 3dmax 7.0

i suspect service pack did it. I will have to reinstall Viz without service pack in free time and check again.

but mayby plugin 1.6.10 is not so big improvement ? to strugle with all this ?

It's your decision if it's time for an update. Check here the list of changes: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... hp?t=23099

With Vista's new SP1, the updated Max plugin doesn't work. Next Limit, please test your plugin with SP1, and update it accordingly. We should not have to install a trial of Max to get it working with VIZ!

Thanks,
Angelo
