no, full pro license and the serial is the one off the CD binder.

I can try the uninstall route again, unfortunately uninstalling the updater broke the installshield records for the retail package and I had to remove it manually.

ugh... regedit? comon seriously?

no, the file was created with the same version on the same machine, its just up till now I wasnt doing real plots, just simple drawings and never needed the advanced spotlight plugins, please refer to my last post which has been updated with new developments

[gaaah, VW 11.5 cant get seating designer to start]

actually after further investigation it seems that none of the spotlight plugins are working for me

nothing under the spotlight menu works even after a full reinstall and update.

this is realy frustrating

*edit

well its appearing that VW11.5 does not play well with winxp, I loaded it up on one of our older laptops and the spotlight plugins at least start up, however even there we have problems.

for instance i opened the label legend manager to add labels to insts, the manager opened alright, but when I went to "add" and the selection screen came up i was unable to select an option or scroll through the list.

this new development screams incompatibility with windowsXP, so what gives? was this just a bad port? obviously this did work 100 percent with some non-mac OS so which one is it?

no, it just remains as the last tool used, clicking on the seating designer link does nothing visable, not even a momentary delay while the computer decides what to do.

if I'm in poly draw mode and try to open the designer the mode stays the same, if i switch to 2d select after drawing a poly and before clicking on the designer i get the same effect, the curser remains in the last tool selected IE: the 2d select tool

the seating options window does not open, and no seating related info or tools appear. This did work in the past although I didnt use it very much as the polycount was murder on my old machine.

I have never had a reason to try it on the new machine until now

trying to make a seating section, I create a poly and select the seating designer, nothing happens.

rebooting the program does not fix it, its like VW does not even try to start the seating module.

I can confirm seatinglayout.vso is in the plugins directory

any suggestions short of a reinstall?
