Installing Vray on farm machines with Windows 7?

[crazy homeless guy]

We are starting to roll out Windows 7 at work, and I am really struggling with the farm machines and Vray.

Typically I use batch scripts to copy the Vray plugins to the farm machines, and to copy the Chaos Group directories, Common file directoies, modify the plugin.ini's, etc...

This has always worked perfectly for XP, but for some reason I can not get it to work properly on Windows 7.

Does anyone else use a method similar to this, or are others installing on the farm machines from scratch?

Thank's for any help or suggestions.

I've got no issues with Windows 7 and V-Ray however I took the manual install route instead of a batch deployment. Make sure the User Access Control sensitivity settings are low or even off for your farm machines or Windows will prevent Backburner and V-Ray from working.

yes i must say this might be your issue "User Access Control sensitivity"

Thanks. I will look into this. I also have a problem where the Win7 machines give me the dialog box that says that 3dsMax is not responding. Typically this dialog has an option to wait for the program to respond, but the one I am getting only has an option to close the program, or go online to troubleshoot and close the program. No option to wait.

The thing that I can't figure out is that the files are all on the machine, and the path in the plugin.ini is pointed directly at the plugin's that it is saying it can not find.
