[RESOLVED] Issue when installing BlendLux 2.4 daily build

[damokrane]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install the daily BlendLuxCore latest build BlendLuxCore-latest-win64.zip
I got many errors, and I'm not currently able to inunstall this one to go back to addon version 2.3

Could you please help me to install 2.4 or maybe if it's too hard, to go back to 2.3 ?

Config:

• Windows 10

• Blender 2.82.7

Error log:

Code: Select all

It looks like you have mixed two installations or so? Anyway, seems to be broken.

Open "C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons\" in your file browser and delete the "BlendLuxCore" folder, then re-install the version you want.

What exactly were your steps to install it?
I see that the last error line tries to import from a slightly different location (C:\Users\damokrane\...) than the lines before (C:\Users\MyUser\...).

Also I'm not sure of you know that for the daily builds you separatly have to install the LuxCore binaries?

In any case, you can install 2.3 and 2.4 side by side. To do this manually, you download both 2.3 and 2.4 an unzip them. Then you copy the contents into separate addon folders, which will be stored at:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\damokrane\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons\

E.g. for 2.3 you can make a Folder

Code: Select all

C:\Users\damokrane\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons\BlendLuxCore\

and for 2.4

Code: Select all

C:\Users\damokrane\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons\BlendLuxCore-master\

You can then switch between the addons in the Blender Preferences. First, you have to deactivate the currently active LuxCore, then activate the other.

This is no longer necessary since a while. Downloading BlendLuxCore latest build is enough.

I just needed to have a look to

It seems that it is when you download from the BlenLuxCore daily release
https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... tag/latest

And not following the descirption from the third post here

Thanks to you guys,
I have had trouble cause I've not correctlty installed the 2.4 version.
Deleted the folder Luxcore in blender addons folder.

Now I'm able to install both 2.3 and 2.4 thanks to your trick

Thanks a lot, and keep going
