Windows Error when Slicing

[grayeyephoto 0]

Hi all,

I am getting an error in the Command Window when trying to slice in Cura (RC3 and RC4). I am using XP installed in Parallels on a Mac. This is the first time I have tried to slice anything on this machine.

My Steps:

1. Load STL

2. Edit Slicing Parameters

3. Slice Model

Cura Response:

1. Bar appears on the bottom and says "Starting..."

2. Command Window Updates with the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\modular_universal_joint.stl 0

Exception in thread Thread-2:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any Ideas?

Did you try the 12.07 version? I only released it yesterday and it contains a fix for some path problems in windows.

Else you might need to install

If you do, let me know, because then I'll add some form of check.

You had to install C++ 2008 from that link.

It works!

Hi,

to confirm for others, on my first attempt with CURA (on a 'clean' vm of XP32), the Cura window just showed the status "Starting..."

but (eventually) in the dos window I noticed several errors, with the last "WindowsError 14001"

Downloading the 2008 redistributable and running that the allowed the GCode to build (quickly)

Cheers
