Do you already have PyQt or Qt installed?  Or is installing our code the first you've
dealt with it?

Thanks for the reply.

I don't install original PyQt.

I installed PyQt4-gpl-snapshot-20090412_win32-msvc2008.

But I installed Qt(qt-win-opensource-src-4.5.2) in C:\Qt\4.5.2.

How should I deal?

I use WindowsXP x64 SP2.

Best regards.

Ok, I think I know whats wrong then - you need to make sure that 'c:/blur/common' is
in your Environment -> PATH variable, and that its before any references to the Qt
paths.  We usually just put it first.

Since we've made our own build of the Qt DLL's, you need to make sure its our DLL
that is being loaded first.  I think that error is because you're getting our version
of PyQt trying to load against a standard build of a Qt DLL

I still have same error.
I deleted C:\Qt\4.5.2\bin line from PATH.

I set following PATH.

Environment -> PATH
* C:\blur\common <- set first
* C:\WINDOWS\system32\blur64
* C:\Python24
* ...

Environment -> PYTHONPATH
* C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages

Best regards.

Just as a note on that topic. I did run into issues as it seems the blurQT installer
is wiping the path variable instead of setting it correctly (wich is
windows\system32\blur according to the installer and not the common dir (wich isnt
existing here)).

This killed quite a bunch of other things here so it's kinda big gotcha.

After resetting the path variable manually everything seems fine.

I tried the following.

Environment -> PATH
* C:\blur\common <- delete
* C:\WINDOWS\system32\blur64 <- delete

reboot

I add PATH variable manually.

Environment -> PATH
* C:\blur\common <- add set first

reboot
I still have same error.

I searched QtCore4.dll in my PC.

SugarSync(QtCore4.dll) <- delete
PerfectDisk(QtCore4.dll) <- delete
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64  <- delete

I still have same error.

Though the following might be unrelated, I found QtCore4.dll in my PC.

C:\max2010
C:\max2010_64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Mocha\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe SING Glyphlet Manager CS4
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdLM[r1]
C:\Program Files (x86)\MeshLab
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdLM[r1]
C:\Qt\4.5.2\bin
C:\Qt\4.5.2\lib

Best regards.

Thanks for the feedback guys - we will look into it!

I set up max10_64 and max2009_64, and there was no error.

max10            startup error and TreeGrunt error
max2009            startup error and TreeGrunt error

max10_64        no startup error and TreeGrunt error
max2009_64        no startup error and TreeGrunt error

C:\max10_64\ui\macroscripts\BlurGrunt_Macros_TreeGrunt.mcr ->Toolbars add
TreeGrunt get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
ImportError: No module named trax

Startup error additional information:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\blur64\QtCore4.dll
rename QtCore4.dll -> _QtCore4.dll

max10_64(same error max10)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Max10\scripts\python/__startup__.py", line 12, in ?
    import blur.wingui
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\blur\wingui\__init__.py", line 22, in ?
    from PyQt4.QtCore            import QCoreApplication

It is thought that max10_64 has linked with QtCore4.dll(C:\WINDOWS\system32\blur64).

I think QtCore4.dll(C:\blur\common) don't link with max10.

In my PC Environment, C:\blur\common(EnvironmentPATH) doesn't function correctly.

Sorry bad English.
Best regards.

running into the same issue in Softimage:

# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "<Script Block >", line 28, in XSILoadPlugin
#     import PySoftimage
#   File
"c:\blur\dev\offline\workgroups\xsi_all\data\site-packages\PySoftimage\__init__.py",
line 29, in <module>
#     from blur import wingui as gui
#   File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\blur\wingui\__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
#     from PyQt4.QtCore            import QCoreApplication

After installing the blur PyQt it has prepended 'C:\windows\system32\blur64' to path,
but still gives the error.

As also mentioned above, I have nothing in blur/common [not even the folder
'common']. Presume this is a legacy thing?

The Qt install I have is '2009.05', can't seem to find any version numbers any more
on the download site - wondering if this is part of the problem?

Any pointers much appreciated.

Seems that there was an issue with python recognizing any values from the 'PATH'
windows enviroment variable, I've changed packages.py to:

    # Register Workgroup site-packages
    path = os.path.abspath( os.path.split( in_reg.fileName )[0] +
'../../../data/site-packages' ).lower()
    if ( not path in sys.path ):
        sys.path.append( path )
   
    #JS3D hack to add QT path stuff
    if not 'C:\Windows\System32\blur64' in sys.path:
        sys.path.append('C:\Windows\System32\blur64')

very hacky, but forces the Qt search path, this however now throws and error in xsi:

# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "<Script Block >", line 32, in XSILoadPlugin
#     import PySoftimage
#   File
"c:\blur\dev\offline\workgroups\xsi_all\data\site-packages\PySoftimage\__init__.py",
line 32, in <module>
#     gui.connectPlugin( xsi.GetPluginInstance(), xsi.GetWindowHandle() )
#   File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 512, in
__getattr__
#     raise AttributeError("%s.%s" % (self._username_, attr))
# AttributeError: <unknown>.GetPluginInstance

Xsi apparently can;t find the 'GetPluginInstance' method, which I'm presuming is a
blur made method, but can;t find where it is supposed to be defined. Still
investigating :).

The GetPluginInstance is a blur plugin - check your workgroups to make sure that
there is a BlurApplication.dll in your
c:/blur/dev/offline/workgroups/xsi_all/application/plugins/ folder.

Make sure that is loading properly in your Plugin Manager.  Thats where that method
is being registered...

Thanks Eric, got the dll, but presume this was put there by the PySoftimage
installer. In which case this is probably down to it being 32 bit? There dosen't seem
to be a 64bit version.

Yeah, that would definitely be it - we haven't had the chance to make the builds for
XSI x64 since we don't use that in the studio yet - will probably have those coming
up pretty soon though.

No dll error in plugin manager as far as I can tell. Please see attached image

Sorry, got a crossed post there. If you need me to compile I'm happy to give it a whirl.

It has already been said on this thread, but as it is not fixed I say it as a reminder :)
The installation still cleans up the environment variable Path, which leads to  max not loading blurPython among other non-related problems.

What do you mean by cleans up the environment variable Path?

I have not been able to recreate that bug at all.  Its just getting completely reset when you run the installer?

What version of Windows are you on, with which version of the BlurOffline did you run?

Thanks!

I've also had my PATH variable set to empty when I tried Py3dsMax. As it didn't work out of the box, I uninstalled everything quite quickly, so I can't say if it was the installer or uninstaller that wiped the PATH, but with an empty PATH Windows does not work fine.

I tried on may 15, on a Win7 x64 system. Can't be more specific but if I find some time I may make another run to try to reproduce the problem.

I already faced that with the old installers and i can confirm that it has happened to me with the new installers as well. As i did quite some install madness to different max versions i cannot really say if it was installing or uninstalling either tho.
