Hello,
I just installed V-Ray 6 hotfix 2 from Chaos, installation is ok, but then I get a error message when Rhino starts (cf. image below).
I already followed the advices and suggestions from this topic, but no luck so far : V-ray for rhino won't start
Any clue ?
Best regards,
Mathieu
What do the details say? Is your Rhino up to date as well?
Details doesn’t say much :
I’m running Rhino 7 SR27 (2023-02-01), and updated all my Rhino installations (6 / 7 / 8 WIP) with the latest installers on rhino3d.com
@Nikolay do you have an idea what might be causing this?
Most probably the visual C++ redistributable, however we did not updated the buildtime version.
download here https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
It might be duet to a dependency of the V-Ray core.
Mind that the message “Dependent DLL is out of date” is coming from Rhino, not V-Ray, and it most probably gets it from LoadLibraryW(), which is notoriously difficult to debug.
I usually use gflags to debug these soft of things.
Just reinstalled the vc_redist.x64 and reboot, still the same error at loading.
Here is my SystemInfo output, if it can help :

OK…
try disabling extensions that do not ship with Rhino. I see that it is only Orca3D, so give it a quick try.
It happened before with some weird software, installing and registering globally DLLs that are incompatible with V-Ray.
If that doesn’t fix it, are you OK contacting Chaos support team ? They can arrange a remove session, and I can join to check what’s going on.
Same error when starting with Orca disabled.
Ok to check with Chaos support team, I created a ticket : #88676
Do you by chance have installed software called ChiTuBox ?
shooting in the dark, really, but that was causing problems before
Nope, not this one.
Long time ago I had MakerBot Desktop, but uninstall from a while now.
Ok, the support guys will take care
Hello, Chaos support had a look by remote session today, but didn’t find out.
So, they advice to make a clean install of Rhino without any additional plugins, which I did, but I still get the same “dependent dll out of date” error on start, even with this new fresh install…
There was a misunderstanding. The idea was I to look in and debug ot site. Can I have another session with your system ?
I’ll talk to then tomorrow
Hello Nikolay, I updated the teamviewer credentials on the ticket #88676
The problem seems to originate in the Windows system libraries.
The OS is Windows 10 LTSB 2016, and the SetThreadDescription which VRayForRhino.rhp calls is not directly exposed from kernel32.dll, but only thru GetProcAddress-ing kernelbase.dll, which we don’t do.
According to MSDN (SetThreadDescription function (processthreadsapi.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn)
the problem is fixed in later versions of Windows
I guess updating your Windows to something more contemporary will fix the issue.
The version after 1607 is 1703, but I guess that is not available with Windows Update and it will download the latest - 2604 (22H2).
The support guy will write you with more details.
Hello Nikolay,
I was thinking about the same cause, good to know and thanks for your investigation.
I will see how I can simply upgrade my Windows 10 then.
Thanks again for your help and feedback.
