Error: Failed to evaluate post configuration

[dbutler]

I get this alarm when I try to run some of the posts downloaded from the the Fusion post library. This particular alarm came up when trying to run the one titled HAAS (pre-NGC) version 44083. Can anyone help me with this?

This looks like you are running a postprocessor engine which is not compatible with your postprocessor cps file.

We would need to know the post engine version you are running, can you please share the full error log?

The following is my full error log:

Unfortunately that does not show the post processor engine version, but I see that you are using HSMXpress, so i assume that you dont run the latest version.
Please have a look here on how to identify your current post engine version and how to find the latest compatible post processor:

I am running HSM Works on this machine not Express. However, I was running Express previously. Is this perhaps part of the problem? Looking in C:\program files I do not have an HSM Works folder.

The Post Engine Version is 4.5748.0

I tried with fanuc r44083.cps and got the same result.

I had a look in the library, the last post script version of the haas post you can use with your post engine is 43598:

Please give it a try and let me know if that works.
Thanks.

Hi Achim - Yes, thanks that worked. Can you let me know how I update my Post Engine version?

Thx

The post engine is not available as a stand alone update, it is always part of the CAM package installation.
