PROBLEM: Backburner not found message when clicking Render
button:
Cannot network render. Backburner not found or not installed.
This error dialog appears because the path to Backburner is either not set
properly in the Path environment variable or Backburner is missing altogether.
SUGGESTION
Verify that the Path variable is set properly and make sure you've installed the
latest version of Backburner.
PROBLEM: Clicking Render button results in Backburner plugin error:
Error creating 3ds Max plugin instance for Backburner.
The path to 3ds Max is not set in the PlugPath section of the
\Backburner\Network\nrapi.conf file.
SUGGESTION
Verify the presence of the \Backburner\Network\nrapi.conf file and check the
PlugPath. It should look like this:
PlugPath=C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Backburner/
PROBLEM:The manager and server windows display strange, garbled
text:
Your error message includes @#$$#@.
This error occurs if the nrres.dat file is missing or damaged. This file is located
in: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Backburner\Network
SUGGESTION
Copy the nrres.dat file from another system that is not exhibiting the problem,
or reinstall Backburner.
