It appears that a windows`10 foldername-variable (probably %users%) is not read correctly by the install:
After this install error - only OK is an option - the install concludes and as it is a manual the routine can not find it really shouldn't matter. But a test-render failed due to some module not being found.
The filename.mp4 is the name of the file it should render ro. Is another windows 10 variable also not read correctly?
What you can try is
-1 before installing VP17 uninstall all of Boris
-2 install VP17
-3 install Boris again
Hmm … boris installed properly on this box in september 2018 … hmmm … never used it, which is why my concern for the error was not large, just a quirk that will get fixed …. gonna try your suggestion tomorrow. Thanks!
Boris uninstalled, V17 uninstalled, only V17 reinstall, no error message from Boris, so now that issue is, if not solved, at least parked for now. But render anything, nah ….
Trying to standard documents folder instead of my render-folder:
Trying another project:
Both projects render flawlessly in V16. So this is about a Boris install bug and a separate Vegas rendering bug.
Thank you, I haven't tested and don't have time to do it right now, but it looks as the solution. It is baffling that it is an issue, but I understand that they have done a lot of work on graphics card assistance, so some pointer in the preset must be wrong. I'll wait with the tagging until verified ….
Yes, the solution is to skip Boris in the install and then define render-presets anew as they get relevant. Perhaps skipping Boris had not been required since it was the manual it couldn't find, but it is an annoying error. Ah well, it is "known and described in the literature" to get US English versions of the OS because somebody somewhere always goofs when it comes to codepage 865, but we should be past that stage now ….
