Problems running R3 and R2.5 on the same computer

[cade_mccall]

Hey-

I just downloaded the new R3 but I'm still having trouble. Vizard will open, but when I run a script, I get: ** ERROR: Invalid argument, usage: winviz.exe <filename>

Also, when I go back and try to run scripts on 2.53 (which was working before) nothing happens.

This time, though, winviz does not show up on under Processes in the Task MAnager.

Any suggestions?

Hey Cade,

Can you post the following info about the computer:

1) Operating system (Window XP, Windows 2000, ...)
2) Vizard25 version
3) Full path to Vizard25 directory
4) Full path to Vizard30 directory
5) Value of your VIZARD25_PATH environment variable
6) Value of your VIZARD30_PATH environment variable (if it exists)
7) Value of your Path environment variable

Hey Cade,

I'm stumped. I tried running testing this out on a machine with the same specs and both Vizard 2.5 and 3.0 worked fine.

The message "** ERROR: Invalid argument, usage: winviz.exe <filename>" means that the Vizard executable is not getting the filename passed as an argument. This should not be happening. Try running the following at the command line:

"C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard30\bin\winviz" "C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard30\examples\nodes\rotation.py"

Let me know if this works.

Also, Vizard 3.0 should be completely self contained, so I don't understand how it is affecting the Vizard 2.5 installation. I'll keep trying things out here. Is this computer a laptop? If so, can you bring it to the office so I can have a look at it?
