Render Farms

[Abubaqar]

Thankyou very much for your hardwork I appreciate it, but There's a Issue with importing addons for renderfarms like Polargrid, RenderBeamer (Garage Farm) etc. Please try to fix this ASAP It's very Important for me, Thankyou again for making it possible to run Blender on my old PC.

It seems to fail when loading the socket library, i can't reproduce this from the python console. Can you upload the renderbeamer addon zip ? I wasn't able to find a download link for it. The other one you mentioned, Polargrid (i assume this is it: https://polargrid.space), installs without any issues for me.

Have you installed all Windows updates (up to January 2020) ? In addition to Windows updates, try updating the Visual C++ runtime (download link: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe).

Edit: I was able to reproduce the issue on a Windows 7 RTM install. It was fixed after installing the May 2016 rollup (https://support.microsoft.com/ro-ro/topic/may-2016-update-rollup-for-windows-7-sp1-and-windows-server-2008-r2-sp1-1f19d72b-acc5-5170-2ce6-19029c9d2b3f), however you should update to the latest available rollup which is January 2020.

it's the Link for RenderBeamer (Gives 50$ Render Credits Which Lasts Long enoungh for me)

I updated my Windows and also Installed Visual C++ But Still it shows the same Error. It will be Ok if there's no Solution for it as I already tried some DifferentMethods Which Works, But having the render farm directly in Blender is Best. So I'm hoping for a Good Permanent Solution Thankyou for your Quick replies

As i said above, i've made a clean install of Windows 7 and installed the May 2016 rollup and after that it works fine:

Here are links to the 3 installed updates in the video (this machine was an SP1 install):

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB2999226 - i don't know what this is, seems to be for Vista but it's listed in the installed updates; https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB3020369 - prerequisite for May 2016 rollup; https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB3125574 - May 2016 rollup.

Try installing them manually.
