Re: Script alert when submitting job
In Windows, various software is usually installed under the "Program Files" folder. And yes, it contains a space unfortunately. There is an environment variable that always points to this folder: %ProgramFiles% , and %ProgramFiles(x86)% for 32bit applications. I'm not sure if incorporating...

Script alert when submitting job
Yesterday when trying out Afanasy with AfterFX everything worked quite well. But today I get this error: https://imgur.com/a/kYyZm Somehow the original aep-project file gets copied with the error and is being used for the render job. Maybe this is standard AfterFX behaviour on script error. Also the...

Re: afterFX script not sending job
So if I understand correctly, If I don't want to start softwares with Keeper, Windows environment variables should be set as the following:
Is this correct?CGRU_LOCATION = C:\Program Files\CGRU
AF_ROOT = C:\Program Files\CGRU\afanasy
PYTHONPATH = C:\Program Files\CGRU\lib\python

Re: Another Newbie question - Error Code=1
Maybe it is the variable itself that is causing this issue. Like, if it refers to a path that contains spaces, the variable will only yield "C:\Program". In that case it does not matter if %APP_DIR% is contained within double quotes, because the variable will still be "C:\Program"...

Re: afterFX script not sending job
Quick related question. When launching through Keeper I can submit jobs to Afanasy without problem. However I prefer to launch my software (such as AfterFX and 3dsmax) the normal way. Following this thread I read that you can setup environment variables manually. I followed the instructions on http:...

Re: Another Newbie question - Error Code=1
I can confirm that it is only the cmd-files inside the \software_setup\bin that needs editing.

Re: Another Newbie question - Error Code=1
Making progress. After trying to figure out the previous cmd files I noticed that inside \software_setup\bin there are respective cmd-files as well. They contain a line with an %APP_DIR% variable. If I change this to an absolute path, from: "%APP_DIR%\3dsmaxcmd.exe" %* to: "C:\Program...

Re: Another Newbie question - Error Code=1
This is from the setup_3dsmax.cmd file, if I am supposed to put double quotes into this file, where exactly do I put them? All paths seem to use double quotes already. rem Source general for all soft directives: call %CGRU_LOCATION%\software_setup\setup__all.cmd For /F "Tokens=*" %%I in ('...

Re: Another Newbie question - Error Code=1
I did a little test where I in the locate_*.cmd file changed the APP_DIR= to something like C:\ But the task output still says " 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command ". So despite changing the APP_DIR in locate_*.cmd the render host is still looking for 'C:\Pro...

Re: Another Newbie question - Error Code=1
You are likely correct that this has to do with spaces.
On the render host machines I changed the locate_*.cmd files to have APP_DIR=path within double quotes, but it changed nothing.
Even restarted server and render hosts. Same issue.
Perhaps double quotes are needed in some other place as well?
