If I send my project to another author, CAT normally works first time for them.

Hmph. Then I guess tinkering with your setup is the right thing to do. Broadly you need python 2.7 installed and working. You can test if it is working outside of Reaper by running “Python command line” from the windows start menu. If a command prompt window opens with a >>> prompt then the installation works. Then you have to make sure Reaper is using the right version of Python. In Reaper, Options-> Preferences -> Plugins -> ReaScript and make sure the dll path is pointing to your 2.7 dll. Finally you need to make sure that all of the CAT .py files are in the right place. For me they are in users/buster/appdata/Roaming/REAPER/scripts. All of CAT’s .py files need to be in that directory.

 

If you have done all of this and it still doesn’t work, then it must be a more obscure problem like bad permissions or file names on some files or directories in an installation or project path.

Python is download and i can open the command line.

DLL is still missing even from that link

[SanicStudios]

*downloaded

If the python command line opens then the DLL is installed.

[SanicStudios]

Well where do I find the DLL then, it isn’t in the python folder and it isn’t in Python > DLLs

[Buster66]

On my computer it is in c:windowssystem32

[SanicStudios]

Ok thanks. There was no indication that it was installed there. 2.6 installed it into the python folder.

Now I get a script execution error.

Messed up. This is saying that tkinter is not installed, but it should have come with the python installation. Did you ever have 64 bit python installed? If so, you should un-install all python versions, delete your c:Python27 directory (and any other c:Python?? directories) and then reinstall only the 2.7 32 bit version. If you never had 64 bit python, then I’m stumped.
