Do Not Install 7.5

[Morbid Angel]

Adam lol....yeah i think you can revert to 7 with minimal loss, errors you will get are some missing features but, if you merge your 7.5 scenes into clean 7.0 scenes they should work out, we did it.

Thanks Guys

Thank guys I said it before and I said it again this place rocks.
I have started this thread over at the Discreet site and will post Tricky's issues for him in my thread. There seems to be somebody from Autodesk interested.
They also gave me some leads on possible Viz problems but I don't think this is applies here as it was referencing opening Viz specific files.
I'll keep you posted on with my research on this problem.

Thanks

hah, well my friend says that at discreet forum if you post something like how do you creat a box with a script there is 100 replies, but if you write something like how do you create a clustered group of weighted verticies in cloth no one says anything.

Of course there has to be a bug

Of course there has to be a bug in 3ds 7.5 Viz unistall. When I tried to kill it started looking for 7.1 on disk to reinstall. I had it as a download but it wasn't happy with that. The only and sort of it is I had to reinstally the Spk1 and thenn uninstall the other 7.5 extensions.
Drove me around the twist trying to find how what was happening as when I tried to start 7.1 it just kept screaming about missing .dll.
I couldn't do the xref test with 7.1 as I used the sweep modifier in 7.5 to build my scene so I have to first make sure all is collapsed before trying to merge again.

Maybe it used to work

So I have confirmed my problem with 7.5 and Xreferenced the scene it is the Reaction Manager. I have no idea if you could Xref a scene which used the reaction manager in 7 but everytime I try in 7.5 it 3ds collapses in a heap. If I clear out everything from the reaction manager it works.
Maybe somebody could do a simple test with 7 for me.
Thanks
