Hello the few XSI users,

 

don’t know if you already noticed it, but it seems that the 24H2 update for Windows11 does not work with Softimage OOTB. Came to my attention a few weeks back, after installing a fresh Windows11 24H2 but with an older image from MS. The image was some weeks old so I went back to 23H2, hoping that the official rollout to my system would have fixes regarding the matter.

Today the 24H2 update was offered to me by windows updates and I tried it, but nope. Bunch of errors when starting XSI regarding factory javascript stuff.

 

Solution from https://www.si-community.com/viewtopic.php?t=7398

 

Snippet:

... the issue was that the new (called "legacy") jscript scripting engine doesn't like uninitialized variables. It can be disabled this way:
1. Win+R (run) gpedit.msc
2. In the group "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer" double click the setting "Replace JScript by loading JScript9Legacy in place of Jscript." (German Windows: "Ersetzen Sie JScript, indem Sie JScript9Legacy anstelle von JScript laden")
3. set it to DISABLED
4. restart PC

 

Works. Nice. :)

 

regards,

Sven

Thanks I really appreciate the information on this.  Curious, does this cause Softimage to not open?

It opens but with a lot of errors in the script editor about factory javascript plugins and one regarding arnold.

Super thanks for the info Sven!
My machine hasn't updated yet so this will be very handy soon I guess.
