CGRU 2.2.1 - keeper will not load executable

Post by randmcnally »

hi,

was using C4D R18, we've moved to R19

- when I launch keeper on Win 10, I go to Software>Soft Set>C4D then select the executable for C4D
- then I attempt to run C4D Software>C4D and a shell flashes up for a split second, then nothing.
- I swapped back to the executable for R18 - and I am getting the same error

any help would be apprecaited!
thx

Hi.

Please copy here your cgru/software_setup/locate_c4d.cmd here. This file is should be created by Keeper after soft setup.

Try to open terminal (console, cmd.exe) from Keeper, run there "c4d" command and look at the output. You can paste it here too.

thanks! here you go:

C4D_USER_FOLDER=C:\Users\rob\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\18.039_RB183317_1158215D
1 file(s) copied.
"python_init.py got Copied"
C4D_EXEC=C:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R19\C:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R19\CINEMA 4D.exe
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

rem Created by Keeper at Tue Sep 25 10:00:09 2018
set APP_DIR=C:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R19
set APP_EXE=%APP_DIR%\CINEMA 4D.exe

looks like the C4D_EXEC= is doubling up the directory path?

I am not too familiar with how this all works, our TD who set this up for me is long gone and I am trying to sort out this update with zero knowledge.
thanks!

Have you, or your previous admin changed this file?

yes we have adjusted it. then I have used the Set Soft within keeper and doubled up the issue. how would I go about removing what I have set in keeper and then use solely the setup_c4d.cmd?

EDIT: I've found the locate file that Keeper created and removed it. All is good! thank you so much!
