Can't find file error on first start #40

Hi I installed IronPython 2.7.6.3 and Revit Python Shell for 2016. On the first start of Revit I get the error message

Error setting up RevitPythonShell System.IO.FileNotFoundEception: COuld not load fole or assembly 'IronPython, Version 2.7.0.40, Culture=neutral PublicKeyToken or one of its dependencies

Wondering both that it doesn't work, and that the IronPython versions seems to differ, 2,7.0.40 versus 2.7.6.3

Would be thankful for any hint Thorsten

Uninstall the independent IronPython and RevitPythonShell will load.

That did the trick, thanks a lot!

Your welcome. You can't really use the independent IronPython with Revit anyway since Revit is thread safe and only the main thread can make changes to its database. RevitPythonShell is the best terminal for learning how to use IronPython with Revit.
