Last month, I bought a copy of Vascularity, and keep getting error messages that seem to be looking for a file on the C drive that doesn't exist.  I have Poser Pro 2012 SR 3.1 installed on a separate HDD I have set up exclusively for 3D art.  There is nothing on the C drive except the 32-bit content that came with PP2012.  I install and test all new content into a TestRuns folder before moving it to my content library.  I've made no changes to the default folder structure of the Python scripts or Runtime files that were installed.  There is nothing in the readme that suggests such a problem may occur or explains how to fix it.

I wrote to one of the content vendors, Zev0, on 4/18, and was directed to Dragonstorm, the person who wrote the script.  I wrote to Dragonstorm on 4/19.  By 5/01, there was no response from her.  I followed up with Zev0 that morning, who forwarded my message directly to Dragonstorm.  It is now 5/09, and still no word from Dragonstorm.  So, I'e decided to seek help from anyone who's used this by posting here.

Here's what I get when I try adding Face Colour Veins to V4:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:TestRunsRuntimePythonposerScriptsDraagonStormVascularityV4FaceV4FaceVeins_Diff.py", line 10, in
P9V4FaceVeins_Diff.doIt()
File "C:/P9_pycompilethisdirVascularity_wxP9V4FaceVeins_Diff.py", line 312, in doIt
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

This is what I get when I try adding Female Torso Displace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:TestRunsRuntimePythonposerScriptsDraagonStormVascularityV4TorsoV4Torso_Disp.py", line 10, in
P9V4Torso_Disp.doIt()
File "C:/P9_pycompilethisdirVascularity_wxP9V4Torso_Disp.py", line 266, in doIt
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

I would greatly appreciate any help getting this script to work.

Thank you.

The python script must reside in PP2012's parent runtime.  I have the same product and hesitated from installing into an external runtime because of the script.  I have no problems whatsoever running it in PP2012.

Beautiful.  Problem solved.  :)

So, as a general rule, unless otherwise mentioned by content documentation, should Python scripts always be put in the main Poser Runtime?

No such issues on the mac.

I just installed to my content runtime, which is not the runtime under the "Applications/Poser Pro 2012" folder.

Did you move the files manually, file by file, or run a fresh unzip into your "live" runtime?

EDIT: Okay, maybe my content runtime is equivalent to the "parent" runtime HBorre mentions... e.g. in Windows, this would be the runtime installed by default under the "My Documents" folder, or shared user folder...

 I generally do, but I just looked at my Vascularity installation and it's located in my external "V4" runtime and it runs fine. :? Where I store my purchases, I have the Vascularity files unzipped, so I must have been aware of something and felt the need to look through the installation files and folders before I copied them to the runtime.

All I've done is realise that I will have a nightmare if I have to re-install everything...scripts and files floating about everywhere :/
