No, Softimage will create a new default user folder at startup.

Do you mean before reinstalling? I am guessing renaming it would stop
Softimage from working, no!?

Re: Can't start Softimage - system failure

[Andres Stephens]

There is a hidden folder in the system drive with a set of files that usually 
don't get Uninstalled with SI and is not its preference and settings folder. It 
contains license data I think. I had a similar error. But renaming or deleting 
said folder fixed it (after reinstalling dozens of times and trying preference 
wipes and everything which didn't work). 
Its stored in the windows user. Maybe in Appdata. 
I'll have to search again to remember which folder it was... *fuzzy brain*

Did you rename just the prefs folder, or did you rename the whole Softimage 
folder for the user account (eg rename Softimage_2015_SP2 to 
Softimage_2015_SP2.bak for the problem user account) ?

I reinstalled this morning - still no joy, so Svens user account trick got
me running again.

I had tried running it as admin, but that doesn't work either. I have only
previously run in to startup crashes that would be fixed by renaming prefs
- this one is new, and somewhat worrying.

Re: Can't start Softimage - system failure

[Rob Wuijster]

What about trying to 'run as a admin' on the xsi.bat and/or setenv.bat file?
If that works, it's something in the user rights that got messed up 
somewhere.

As an additional test to see what's going on?

Interesting - this actually worked. I still can't start Soft on the 
usual account, so I guess I will have to proceed with deleting it and 
rename the new working one. Lots of crap to reestablish though. Bummer.


It would be really nice to know how it can become corrupted like this. 
Last thing I did before it broke was exit Softimage without closing 
the scene I had been working on.

Bizarre that different user works, but not renaming the user prefs - as
effectively all that exists within the user is maybe a shortcut and the
prefs folders.

Rename prefs folder to test if it is something in there.

Can't start Softimage - system failure

[Morten Bartholdy]

It is too long ago I had trouble like this, so I plain don't remember how
to deal with it.

Suddenly after a normal days work and submitting renders to RR after
closing Softimage I can't start it again. It crashes and I get "Failed to
save before system failure". Tried restarting the computer and same
problem.

I have tried renaming default.xsipref and start again, and I have run
runonce.bat - both without any luck. How do I proceed from here?

Help is much appreciated - I don't really fancy reiinstalling, although
thtat would be my backup plan.
