Hey Everyone, I’m just curious how often everyone updates their installation to the latest nightly build and what are the different ways to roll those builds out to workstations and the render farm? silent batch scripts for installation? network installation with ENV variables? please be specifi…

Can someone please help me with psexec? What’s the command everyone uses to get it to install? This fails: psexec -u domain\user -p password \\remotecompname -s -i -d msiexec.exe /i “I:\Vray\vrayinstall.exe” -gui=0 -configFile=“install.xml” -quiet=1

Hi have still been unable to get vray to install using PStools. I can get the install to run (i wrapped the vrayinstall.exe with XML commands into a .bat file and then just called the bat file instead with the psexec commands) but vray will install and then start uninstalling itself.

V-Ray is working fine when installed from an arbitrary location here, on Windows. But when setting this up for OS X (Snow Leopard), how would you go about loading the Maya-specific libvray.dylib? (which Maya complains over not finding) Should it be copied from /maya_vray/bin/libvray.dylib to somew…

LD_LIBRARY_PATH sounds like it should do it.

In the case of Mac OS X - DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH Best regards, Vlado

Ahh sorry, yes there is an install log, just have to check the exact location on Mac OS X. Best regards, Vlado

in windows, I can use the usersetup.py with os.environ/os.putenv to set the environment variables that vray need and start from a custom location on a machine without anything installed or created. On OSX even with proper os.putenv/os.environ in usersetup it seens that it never finds the correct DYL…

Vlado: any chance you found out about that log file on OS X? :wink: Also, if there’s a log file trick for Windows too I’m all ears! Santa: nope, we just set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/maya_root/MacOS/ and that “just works”. We also are using Python and environment vars to launch Maya.
