I have maya installed but Arnold is not automatically available. I opened the Plug-in Manager window and found mtoa.mll and clicked Loaded and got this error: “C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 317: initializePluginfunction failed (mtoa)”
I clicked autoload and restarted maya and saw the same error when the Maya window opened along with this other one:
“// Warning: file: C:/Program Files /Autodesk/Maya2020/scripts/others/supportRendereres.mel line 67: The renderer “arnold” used by this scene, is not currently available. The “mayaSoftware” renderer will be used intead…”
…
I downloaded the actual Arnold installer and when trying to install it failed with these messages:
pitreg.exe - System Error - The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
LicensingUpdater.exe - System Error - The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
And now when I try to run Maya I get this error:
maya.exe - System Error - The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
This makes 3 years in a row I’ve installed Maya in January and by February I wasn’t able to use it for some fucking reason.
