MapsModelsImporter Cannot import RDC file

Hello, if anyone can help please do as I've tried everything I can think of and am at a total dead end.

I'm able to generate the RDC file without trouble but whenever I try to import, Blender is having none of it and keep getting the WinError 87 error. I've tried the following to fix the issue (I should point out that I'm not a programmer and my understanding of coding is virtually non-existent):

Tried every version of the addon from 0.3.0 up, each time with the versions of Blender and RenderDoc specified plus some other combos people have said worked for them. Same error every time.
Tried with sample RDC files provided. Again, same error.
Using a PYTHONPATH environment variable set to version of Python used in Blender and RenderDoc, and a standalone python install. Blender just ignores this...
Also using the RENDERDOC_PYTHON_PREFIX64 with each of the above python versions (saw it on the RenderDoc python documentation but again, I'm not a programmer so may not be relevant)

If anyone can help me fix this would be a massive help! I'll post the RDC file along with the error and some screenshots of the results of some import requests in the scripting console (basically looked at every forum response I could find on the issue and saw this requested a few times but was never given). Also, if someone is able to load it into Blender, would they be able to save it to an FBX file and send it to me? Want to use it in an art project I'm working on for fun. Thanks in advanced!

Hi @oggy1189, thanks for having tried hard before reporting here. Did you try installing vc_redist.x64? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

Hi, just installed it and tried again. Same error

Try the incoming 0.4.1: https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter/releases/tag/v0.4.1-rc1

In Blender's Python console do the following and copy the output here:

import sys
print(sys.executable)

Check that the file C:\Users\luke\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.93\scripts\addons\MapsModelsImporter\google_maps_rd.py exists.

Put the capture file in at a path with no special character in directory names.

That's the version I was using 👌

Python response = C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.93\2.93\python\bin\python.EXE

Yes the file is there Untitled

And have placed on the desktop.

Let me know if you need anything else 👍

Okey in the same console now try:

filepath = "THE/PATH/TO/YOUR/CAPTURE.rdc"
import subprocess
import os
subprocess.check_output([
  r"C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.93\2.93\python\bin\python.EXE",
  r"C:\Users\luke\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.93\scripts\addons\MapsModelsImporter\google_maps_rd.py",
  filepath,
  os.path.dirname(filepath),
  "-1"
], stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

(I hope I did not make a typo I did not test the script)

Sorry, deleted the last one as wanted to check something.

Kinda weird, when I paste the code as your wrote it it comes in fine 001

...yet when I alter the path section I get a syntax error 002

I've tried pasting the full address and also inverted the dashes just to be sure and it's the same each time. Apologies for sucking at coding lol

EDIT: I wasn't sure if you wanted me to compile the code you sent as is so I tried. Ended up with the Win87 error again

Mmh it may come from antoher of your add-ons, try disabling all of them (see #149)

Jul 26 '21 22:07 eliemichel

Just tried, no luck. Same win87 error

Jul 26 '21 22:07 oggy1189

Are you able to run "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.93\2.93\python\bin\python.EXE" at all? You can try Win+E, then paste this, with quotes around, it should start a Python console.

Jul 27 '21 15:07 eliemichel

Yep, opens it fine Untitled

Jul 27 '21 19:07 oggy1189

I'm sorry this is a tough one... I really don't get why subprocess fails at spawning this python.exe then. Could you try the same lines of code I had you run in Blender's console but this time in that console you got in the last test?

Jul 27 '21 20:07 eliemichel

Just tried and it's giving the same error 😔

001

Out of curiosity I tried running it on a standalone install of python 3.9.2. It gave the Win87 error but with different file locations. Don't know if that gives any clues but I'll include as well.

Have you gotten anywhere on this? I believe I am running into a similar problem:
