Re: XSI 6 breaking Ultimapper in XSI 5.11

Looks like you're right, Andre.  Script works fine in 6, but not in 5.11.  We have both  installed here.

Hi everybody, happy new year!

We've hit a strange bug today, where having XSI 6 and XSI 5.11 installed
in parallel breaks the Ultimapper tool in XSI 5.11; it just does not
render anything anymore. This applies to all of our workstations
(Windows) and both XSI flavours (32bit, 64bit). Deinstalling both, XSI 6
and XSI 5.11 and reinstalling XSI 5.11 seems to fix this particular problem.
Perhaps someone running a similar setup can spend two minutes to run the
script below (supposed to render a normal map of a cube to c:\) before I
fire this off to support to make sure there is nothing weird with our
install and this is a common issue. The script should run without error,
but there should be no rendering process in the end and the file written
to disk should be 0 bytes. That's what we experience over here.

Thanks!
