VP9 and old scripts.

Rosebud wrote on 5/12/2009, 3:52 PM

Most of my scripts (for VP8) don’t seem to work with VP9.
I get this error:
System.ApplicationException: Suitable entry point method, 'FromVegas', not found.
at Sony.Vegas.ScriptHost.ScriptManager.Run(Assembly asm, String className, String methodName)
at Sony.Vegas.ScriptHost.PrecompiledScriptManager.Run()
at Sony.Vegas.ScriptHost.RunScript(Boolean fCompileOnly)

Any help is welcome
TIA
Gilles

I've seen that when I've tried to open a custom command via Tools - Scripts instead of Edit/View/Tools - Extensions

Unfortunately this happens with my scripts, not with my Custom Command.

It’s strange but the same scripts works fine with VP9 on another computer.

Please, can someone from SCS tell me in which direction I have to search ?
Thx

Gilles, What version of .Net are these scripts compiled for?

I think:
Vegas 6 uses .Net 1.1
Vegas 7 uses .Net 2.0
Vegas Pro 8 uses .Net 3.0
Vegas Pro 9 uses .Net 3.5

I know that .Net 1.1 scripts that ran in Vegas 6 broke in Vegas 7 because .Net 2.0 had no backward compatibility. (...thank you very much Microsoft) :( BUT... .Net 3.0 was backward compatible with .Net 2.0 so scripts compiled for .Net 2.0 will work in Vegas 7, 8 & 9.

Your error indicates that it can't find the entry point but maybe there really is another reason that is manifesting itself as no entry point but is really a DLL load failure or other compatibility problem.

If you want, you can email me via the forum and send me the DLL and I can try it on my machines and see how it behaves. I've got test machines here at VASST for Vegas Pro 9 on XP32, Vista 32, & Vista 64. I be happy to test it for you and see what I find.
