Conflict in Python with FreeCAD and Cura

[conz 0]

Hi,

after installing latest developer version of Freecad (0.14), cura crashes at start.

Is this a problem in cura or in FreeCAD?

I get following python error.

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura_14.03>.\cura.bat

After uninstalling FreeCAD, cura is working again.

I have reported the problem in the freeCAD forum, too. (waiting for moderation)

After installing freecad, can you do a "start->run->"cmd" in the big black screen run "SET", and report back all the output. Looks like freecad might be setting a global environment variable that's messing up Cura.

Hi Daid,

my PC is busy right now (have to render a project). I'll reinstall FreeCAD a little bit later and check the "SET".

Maybe you could take a look at the FreeCAD Forum, there is a reply by some developer of FreeCAD:

Question: Does cura have its own version of numpy? Because it seems that somewhere inside cura numpy gets imported which then finds that version of the FreeCAD installation.But then a numpy module can't be loaded because a certain DLL is missing. So from this point of view it must be an installer problem because it lacks of one or more files. But the problem is not that we set this path in the registry.

The path is written in the registry under HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.6\PythonPath\FreeCAD 0.14.

@Daid, thank you for your posting in the FreeCAD-Forum.

My rendering is not finished, yet. :(

Will test your path check ("SET") tomorrow.
