sunlight panel error

[Eric West]

Hello

I recently reinstalled rhino and vray on my new machine.
Now, when I start rhino, I get an error.
'unable to locate or load "RHRDK.10.V40.DLL" - Some functionality for our sunlight panel will not be available'.
This error means I cannot modify the sun.
Thoughts?
Thanks

Re: sunlight panel error

Hay, hmm I can tell you that I have the same problem..
The RHRDK.10.V40.DLL is to "Sunlight function" , so you can maybe try to find the .dll and copy it in to the folder...
AND try to delete your library, and recover it again..
(C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Application Data\ASGvis)
I have tried to resolve this problem, but I can't,, so id there is some admins that want to help ?

Thanks

Re: sunlight panel error

UPDATE!!

Here is a answer that ASGVIS have sent me when I told them about this problem.

Hello,

The RDK is something McNeel develops that allows developers, such as ourselves, access certain Rhino resources. If you have a plugin that uses a different version of the RDK, it's possible that one of the two plugins will have an issue with the RDK drivers. Make sure that you have the latest version of Rhino 4.0 (latest should be Rhino 4.0 SR3). If the error still continues, you may want to download the latest version of our software. It's still a pre-release version (Release Candidate), but it has the latest version of RDK, and should get rid of that error message. Let us know if you have any issues.

But the problem is that I have the newest version of all..

Here the same - modify never works. Discussed at the Rhino forum too:

Best, you write ASGvis again and send a link to this thread here. So the developer can see, it's a general problem.

Re: sunlight panel error

I did solve my problem by going to

start-program-asgvisllc-vray for rhino-launch RHRDK

Now the panel work,but the settings for the sun location are never remembered,they were before I did that.

I am not sure what you mean by that. We should not have any shortcut that says that. Oh - actually I think I know what that must be...Installshield automatically adds shortcuts to any exe that is in there. That must launch the installer for RDK.

For users who don't see that shortcut ( because I think we fixed that bug ) you can emulate that behavior by simply choosing a custom install from our installer and installing only the RDK component.

Re: sunlight panel error

I am not sure the bug is fix because I get that with the latest SR RC2 (01.01.57)

hmm I have thar shortcut and I don't think it has something with a bug to do, because when you choose a auto config it will install that RDK.... and when you choose a custom, there you can shoose to NOT install it, BUT then THE sunlight panel disappear... BUT ,
RVallieres: You guide to solve this problem is not working becuase you are just choosing to install the RDK "program" again...

Re: sunlight panel error

I haven't heard back from the customer I sent this to yet, but here's the response I gave to someone that had this issue:

The RDK is something McNeel develops that allows developers, such as ourselves, access certain Rhino resources. If you have a plugin that uses a different version of the RDK, it's possible that one of the two plugins will have an issue with the RDK drivers. Most likely, the version of the RDK that your computer has, does not match the version that our software requires. First, make sure that you are using the latest version of Rhino (Rhinoceros 4 SR3 should be the latest I believe). Next I would try going to Add or Remove Programs in your windows control panel, and removing "V-Ray for Rhinoceros", as well as "Rhino RDK". Once they've both been completely removed, try reinstalling our product again. You should see the RDK software being installed as you progress through the installation process. Hopefully this will resolve the error. If you continue to see the error message, please let us know, and we'll try to find a working solution.

Can anyone confirm or deny that this works?
