DLL RapidRTRenderer.dlr failed to initialize - error code 127

Anonymous · ‎06-02-2016

Dear Madam, Sir,

After using 3DStudio Max 2016 for 10 months without problems, I now get the following message when starting 3DStudio Max:

DLL <C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\stdplugs\RapidRTRenderer.dlr> failed to initialize. Error code 127 - The specified procedure could not be found.

I uninstalled 3DStudio Max 2016 and installed it again. The installation was succesfull. After starting Max again, I got the same message.

Please advice how to proceed.

Many thanks,

Henri Achten

Thank you for the reply, but my problem is with 3DStudio Max 2016, not with AutoCAD.

I ll give it a shot to reset Max though see if that solves it
