Hey @ebergerly ,

That stack trace error... I see that when I try to send an incomplete dynamic/animation simulation back to DS, and once that happens, not only is the animation probably funky, but the DAZ scripting stack is also probably hosed - not just for VWD, but for any script you may wish to run! I have a ticket in for this, and some ideas for an easy fix (I hope), but it's broken until then.

Bottom line, If you run a dynamic/animation simulation (vs a static sim), please don't interrupt it and send it to DAZ Studio (send animation to host). It just breaks things in DS. Let it finish, even if you don't want the entire output series.

and FYI, restarting DAZ Studio fixes the scripting stack problem - it's only broken after VWD confuses it, and the problem goes away when you shut down/restart DAZ Studio.

If that's not the problem (you may never get that far if the error was on start-up), future users may find value in looking at the Start VWD.dsa script, and seeing if the first line looks like a reasonable path to the VWD main directory. If not, it can be edited with a text editor (notepad) and corrected. For a 'suggested' installation, the foirst line should look something like:

VWD_Base = “C:/VWD/” ;

Noting that the slashes in the pathname are backwards from the usual Windows/DOS convention. Perhaps a simple edit may save someone another re-install.

cheers,

VWD_dan
