Reflex Surface Creator Tool

[gary664]

@MCM, yes, I do have 4.5 installed..  Although I couldnt find it in my control panel, but when i tried to re download it, it said i already had it installed..

[Baja1000McCoy306x]

Strange, I run that too. Well now I'm stumped as to what's causing problems on your end, i apologize

[mcm2boys]

so you have 4.5 but do you have 4.0 installed as well? some software seem to need specific a version of .NET..

[gary664]

Yes, apparently I have 4.0 installed as well.. Or at least when i tired to specifically install 4.0 it said I also already had it installed.. I tried to install surface tool on my laptop, but the same thing happens.. Nothing shows up when i click on the application..

I'm having the same problem. I did what was suggested with re-installing .NET 4.0 and 4.5 both of which said, "I already had them or higher versions". I also did the same with Direct X 9 and nothing changed. I have windows 7 64 bit. I click the program and it does the wheel for a few seconds and then just disappears. I also tried the older version except with v 1.2 it says Reflex_DX_v2 has stopped working.

Have you guys tried running as admin or tried any compatibility modes?

[gary664]

Yes and Yes.. Ive fiddled around with all the compatibility settings and couldnt get anything to work..   There is only suppose to be three files in the folder correct?

[JamieT]

Yes only 3 files.

First time I ran the surface creator though Win 8.1 didn't seem to trust the program, but once I chose "run anyway", it's worked each time no problem.  Maybe this is an issue for you?  Have you tried disabling your anti virus and then running it?

[redrider197]

hey guys, so I still have no luck. I run it as admin, I've messed with the compatibility. I've disabled my antivirus and even done so while extracting the zip file. The program just doesn't like my computer lol

[redrider197]

I just tried it with my laptop and no luck either. windows 8 on this but its 64 bit as well.

[gary664]

I did the exact same as redrider..  No luck still..

[JamieT]

Maybe this will fix it?

[gary664]

Yeah, still nothing... 

[JamieT]

Unfortunately then, I'm all out of ideas.  The current version is working fine for me on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.  It's very puzzling and I'm sorry it's not working for you.

[gary664]

well i do appreciate all the ideas and effort.. Ill keep trying to figure it out, once i do ill share the info

[mcm2boys]

Not sure if this will help, but i also have .NET version 1.1, 3.5 and 4.5 installed along with the 2.0 SDK.

[gary664]

I installed 1.1, but still nothing.. Is it possible is has to do something with WinRAR?

[mcm2boys]

Jamie included an extra dll in the zip file, but mine works if i rename that so i'm not sure how critical that is. It might be corrupting the files, i can't see why if it works on other files but you never know, try using something else - i use 7zip.

If that fails take a look at this - if you haven't tried it already - to find if it's missing any DLLs:

Anyone tell me where im going wrong here? I make a simple cylinder (blender), export in collada, try to load it in the surface creator and this is what i get:

Any ideas?

Can you send me the Collada file please?  I'll see what's going on.
