Where is this folder supposed to come from?


When I compare systems after the reinstall and look at this directory, the good systems have a ‘Network’ folder below Backburner and the bad systems (with the fresh install) do not.

When I go to install BB2008… it defaults to C:Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Backburner and I leave it alone.

So some sort of manual cleaning must be done. But clearly it appears that old registry entries as well as a bunch of folders are left behind in this process. My first inclination is to simply uninstall/reinstall BB2008. Some of my identical systems are rendering a MAX2010_64 test project just fine and others are failing. Let me see if I can start over with this. I’ve got to calm down cuz I’m losing network-rendering capability by the minute and starting to freak. (Does Deadline have these types of problems too?). I don’t understand the post where it says to point them all to the MAX install directories as the good slaves all have them pointing towards the Backburner directories too.Īrrrggghhh. I compared the nrapi file on the good slaves vs the bad slaves and it appears exactly the same… all entries basically point in the neighborhood of the C:/Program Files (x86)/Autodesk/Backburner directories. Weird thing is, after doing an uninstall, delete BB directory, registry clean and a re-install of BB2008… it seems to install fine but does NOT create the Network subdirectory under the Backburner directory? Shouldn’t it? I have found the post (at least I had it last night) where someone talks about editing the nrapi file, etc. So now I am on to trying to get a clean install of BB 2008/registry entries/paths, etc. Now they all can find/load MAX2010_64 successfully.īut now they throw the more traditional error ‘Unknown error loading application’. The first problem ‘No plugin available to handle job’ was solved by installing BB 2008 on those remaining slaves. Yes, MAX2010_64 is installed on all slaves. I compared the registry keys for the area you mentioned and it appears identical on both the bad slaves and good slaves. It seems that there is no ‘Network’ subdirectory under the Backburner directory.

I examined the directories of the systems (where I just installed BB 2008) which don’t work and the systems which do work. That part was fixed by installing BB 2008 on those systems (except for the Manager system which has an error and I haven’t figured out what to do about that yet).īut now that the original error is gone… I have a new error on those systems that says: ‘Unknown error loading application’. That’s why they couldn’t run the MAX2010 exe for net-rendering… hence the error ‘No plugin available to handle job’… so the original error is solved. I must have missed a few slaves with the BB 2008 install and they were still running BB2007. So I ran BB 2008 on all the other systems and re-installed 2007 on the Manager system.

Originally when installing MAX2010_64 on all systems… Backburner 2008.1.1 was installed on this main server system but the new version of Backburner 2008 Manager throws an error (the Backburner 2007 ran fine on Windows 2003 Server but BB 2008 doesn’t). My main ‘Manager’ system runs Windows Server 2003 so it has the most connections and serves up the textures and receives the frames. In this case, I think it is operator error.
