Primstar Installation Problem

Hi Folks!

This problem has probably been addressed many times before, but being a complete newbie to all this, I'm having problems in locating a solution.

I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit OS. Previously had problems with blender identifying Python, but then realised I must have downloaded the wrong version (see what I mean, complete newbie!!).

Blender now seems to recognise Python, but my problem occurs when I try to add a sculptmesh. The error I get in Blender is "Python Script Error: Check Console". When I check the Python window, the following information appears:-

Compiled with Python version 2.6.1.
Checking for installed Python....got it!
Traceback :
File "", line 1, in
File C:\blender-2.49b-win64-python26[1]\.blender\scripts\primstar\add_mesh_scult_mesh.py", line 50, in
from Tkinter import *
File "C:\Python26\Lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 38, in
Import Fix TK
File "C:\Python26\Lib\lib-tk\Fix.py", line 65, in
import_Tkinter
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I've followed the manual install tutorial and have copied the primstar folder into C:\blender-2.49b-win64-python26[1]\.blender\scripts.

Any advice that could be given would be most welcome, as this is now driving me to distraction!

Many thanks for your help Smile

Hi,

I am in need of help with primstar and blender when it comes to the command prompt.  I have tried the video and manually as well.  When I put the code followed by -P install.py ....blender will  pop up, and when I  minimize blender, go back to the command prompt I continue to get this message (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.)    I have saved primstar folder into my C drive in Program Files as well as blender.  Please give me some instruction so I can correct this issue.

 

Thank You in Advance!
