Uninstalled LDView and LPub2 (neither of which actually do a complete un-install
as they leave registry keys, sub-directories, start menu items, etc lying
around)
Removed all traces of them.
Install LDView 3.0 (13th Dec 2005 build)
Set LDraw directory
Open m6459.ldr
Create LPub preference set
Exit
Open m6459.ldr with MLCad
Update ~moved parts
Save
Install LPub 2.4.8.0
Set LDraw directory
Set L3P.exe location (L3P v1.3 20010120)
Set LDView as renderer
Open m6459.ldr from LDView directory
Select "Generate --> Complete model"
Error: "copy: failed to open LPub\LDraw\m6459.ldr for writing."
Click OK
Error: "get_camera_distance failed to open LPub\POV\m6459.pov"
Click OK
...\LDview\LPub\Images\m6459.png is created - but is a 2Kb file of black on
black!
Delete m6459.png
Select "Generate --> Complete model"
No "errors" this time, but image is still black on black
Select "Generate --> CSIs, PLIs and BOM"
.../LPub/LDraw has three .dat and one .ldr files
.../LPub/POV has four .pov files
LDView opens and closes once
Error: "The handle is invalid"
Click OK
Progress status dialog is still shown, cannot be dismissed by either Pause or
Cancel buttons
All LPub menus are greyed out
Have to terminate LPub from the X button (top right)
Something seems to be broken big time
LPug.log contains
Initializing defaults
Initializing pov_ray settings
Initing run time variables
Initing open_dialogs
Initing parts list
Initing lpub
Initing shared memory
Initing options
Initing renderer box
create_construction_dats m6459.ldr scan complete
OS is Windows XP Pro - ver 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 : Service
Pack 2)
MS .NET 1.1 framework is installed

| (...) What is m6459.ldr? Just a model file, or something special? Do you have file paths with blanks in them? If so, this is a problem. Not all the tools that LPub uses supports this. Kev (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)

| Can someone point me at versions of LPub 2, LDView 3 and L3P that work with each other. I've finally got around to installing LPub 2.8.4.0 with LDView 3.0 RC 1 and a very old copy of L3P and can now not render anything with LPub (either via PovRay (...) (19 years ago, 14-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)
