Hi, I'm trying to install the demo version in an old system because is required to. I'm having troubles when I run 3dsMax 2010 in a 32 bit Windows XP. A message says:

Window Title:

Coden: Unable to load a referenced assembly

Window Message:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Ephere.Plugins.Coden.Global' threw an exception. --->System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Ephere.Modeling, Version=1.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. El sistema no puede hallar el archivo especificado (the system can't find the specified file) at Ephere.Plugins.Coden.Global..cctor()
---End of inner exception stack trace---
at Ephere.Plugins.Coden.Global.Initialize(IntPtr callbackPointer)
at Ephere.Plugins.Coden.Iniitialize(Void* callbacks)

I need to know if is possible to make it run with this versions of windows and max

Thanks a lot

Could you please check C:\Users\Mars\AppData\Local\Ephere\Library\bin\x86 directory and tell me the files that you find in there?

I cant find a similar path, when I run the plugin setup I choose a short path to install it to avoid spanish characters in the installation path, so I can discard that.
The app is installed in c:\ephere, where I have the .\Library\bin\x86 folder, in that path I have the files: Ephere.Geometry.Native.dll and SQLite.interop.dll
If I do a 'ephere' search in c: I only can find two paths, one is C:\Documents and Settings\myUserName\Local\AppData\Ephere\Library but there is no bin folder, the other is C:\Users\myUserName\Local\AppData\Ephere\Library but again there is no bin folder

I've tried to install it with the default folders but the error is the same

Thanks for helping! 

Ok, that makes sense. Can you please also let me know which files you have in C:\ephere\Library\bin\? The error indicates that one of the files is missing or cannot be found. I suspect it might have something to do with 32-bit Windows but so far everything seems correct.

Sure, these are the files:

C:\Ephere\Library\bin\

.\X64
.\X86

Ephere.Geometry.dll
Ephere.Geometry.maxml
Ephere.Geometry.XML
Ephere.Graphics.dll
Ephere.Graphics.maxml
Ephere.Graphics.XML
Ephere.Gui.dll
Ephere.Math.dll
Ephere.Math.XML
Ephere.Modeling.Cortex.dll
Ephere.Modeling.Cortex.maxml
Ephere.Modeling.Dependency.dll
Ephere.Plugins.Autodesk.Max.Lab.dll
Ephere.Plugins.Coden.dll
Ephere.Utilities.dll
Ephere.Utilities.XML
Mono.Cecil.dll
mscorlib.maxml
System.Core.maxml
System.Data.SQLite.dll
WeifenLuo.WinFormsUI.Docking.dll

 

Just in case, I also have installed .net framework versions 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4 and C++ redistributables, versions 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013

Do I need something like java or vb or something like that?

It seems there was a problem with the install script. Please uninstall Lab and reinstall it again from the web, the problem should be fixed now.

Great! The demo is working perfect, thanks a lot.
