Hi,

MoI 3d beta V2 12 April is working fine in Windows 7 32-bit, except ImportPointFile script,
which give the attached message.

The script is installed in /command dir, and there is Alt+I as shortcut

Thanks in advance.

Hi George, it sounds like some of the security mechanisms in Windows 7 is preventing that script from accessing the "FileSystemObject" which is a tool that allows scripts to manipulate files.

If you right-click the icon for running MoI I think there should be a menu that pops up that has something on it like "Run as administrator" - if you use that method to run MoI probably that error will go away, does that seem to work?

Also if you right-click the shortcut and choose "Properties", I think there should be some option to always run as administrator, you may need to set that up if you need to use that script.

Hi Michael,

I tried your suggestions, but nothing. It is the only script that not work in Windows 7 environment.
I will try to reinstall it, with UAC disabled.

George

No luck.

Hi George - hmmm that is rather odd. Maybe somehow the script library for the "FileSystemObject" which that command uses did not get configured properly on your Windows7 installation.

Try running the following from a command prompt (or Start/run):

regsvr32 scrrun.dll


Another possibility may be if you are running some kind of anti-virus system that may be blocking access to that particular library since it can be considered a security sensitive thing since it gives scripts access to files. You may try temporarily disabling your virus checker or see if there is a way you can configure it to allow a script running inside of MoI.exe to be allowed access.


Please let me know if none of these things help any and I will try to look into it some more.

Hi Michael,

I am sorry for the delayed answer. I tried your suggestion running as administrator regsvr32 scrrun.dll and I get the message that DllRegisterServer in scrrun.dll was successful, but when I tried from MoI to run ImportPointFile I got the same message as before. I don't use any Symantec Antivirus, only Avira AV Free Version and Windows Defender.

Regards,


George

Hi George - I think I see what the problem is now.

The particular method that script uses to show the "get filename to open" dialog is apparently not available on Windows Vista or higher.

For the next v2 MoI beta I'll add in a function inside of MoI which the script can call to handle this so that it will not need to be dependent on the system component that for whatever reason is not available in newer Windows releases.

- Michael

Thank you Michael

Hi George, I have this tuned up now for the next v2 beta release.

Once the next release is out I will also need to post an update here with a slight modification to the import points command to use the new file dialog method, then it should work on Windows 7 after that, at least I hope so!

I should have the new v2 beta out at the end of this week I think.

Hi Michael....


> I should have the new v2 beta out at the end of this week I think.
Hope it will release as your plan ( end of this week ).

Cant wait it Michael.... :)

Thank You ~~~ !!!

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much. I think we will have a very promising weekend with next Beta.

Regards,



George

Not ready yet.... :(
Maybe tomorrow.... !!!

Hi Anis - it's very close, but the last couple of details may take until tomorrow.

- Michael

Hi Michael.....

As I thought before.
Your favorite date is 21, isnt it ?

I will download it tomorrow.
One of my concern is ability to read layer from iges.

Thanks !!!

Hi Anis,

> One of my concern is ability to read layer from iges.

Actually, that was one of the last remaining things for styles that I did not have finished yet. But I'm adding it in now as the final thing to do before releasing the beta, I should have it ready today.

Hi Anis, I was able to add in transfer of layers/styles/levels to and from IGES files, and there is now a new beta posted that includes it: http://moi3d.com/beta.htm

Please let me know how the updated IGES transfer works for you.

Thanks,

Hi George - getting back to the Import point file script not working on Windows 7.

I've got a new v2 beta posted (http://moi3d.com/beta.htm), and I think this one will now allow for this script to be updated to work with Windows 7.

I've attached the updated script file to this message. This updated version will only work with MoI v2 (Jun-20 version or later) and not with MoI v1.

I do not have Windows 7 over here though, so I'm not 100% sure - please let me know how it works for you. But hopefully it should get it working.

- Michael

Hi Michael,

ImportPointFile Update works fine in the new Beta 20 Jun 09 in Windows 7 x32.

Thank you,
Regards,


George

Hi Michael....

The iges layers importer work very well.
Below is the screen capture and the file size comparison :

Hi Michael...

Today color can be apply to curve, line and edge.
Have you a plan apply color on surface in the V2 ?

Wish the best for you and MoI :)
