What do you mean you can't install?
Does it give you an error?
Does it's icon in the Plugin Manager have a red triangle?
Does it install and does nothing?
Does it crash 7.01?
What??? :-??

This is weird, since i compiled it with the 7.01 x64 libraries.
on my winxp 64 machine it works fine.

I repacked the addon from inside 7.01 x64
if it still doesn't work
i rar'ed the folder structure of the addon
so just decompress it in your "Addons"
user directory under the name "PolyMeshDuplicator"
and either restart XSI or manually load it.

Thanks a lot for your super fast answer.

well same pb here for the 2 solutions :

I have this message :

ERROR : 2360 - This plug-in is not compatible with the current platform and will be ignored:
<path: C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Addons\PolyMeshDuplicator\Application\Plugins\PolyMeshDuplicator.x86.dll>


seems it only wants a x64 dll ?

the x86 version is not supposed to be compatible with the x64 edition
it is for 32bit XSI.

It should automatically ignore it
well just delete the "PolymeshDuplicator.x86.dll" file
and leave the "PolymeshDuplicator.x64.dll"

Now it works ^:)^

Thanks a lot

EDIT : Maybe you need to try to detect typical version of XSI because PolymeshDuplicator.xsiaddon doesn't install for me because of the x32.dll

EDIT2 : Or just do 2 versions of your script x32 and x64

Didn't install or didn't load?
Because if it didn't install you wouldn't get the following error:
ERROR : 2360 - This plug-in is not compatible with the current platform and will be ignored
which is ok BTW.
XSI is supposed to ignore one of the two ".dll"s and continue loading the other one.
Correct me if i am wrong, but i have the suspicion that you didn't even try the command
after the error msg appeared.

Do the following :
Uninstall the addon,
re-install it,
the error msg will appear (as expected)
create a cube (or whatever primitive)
try the "Modify->Poly. Mesh->PolyMesh Duplicator" command
and tell me if it works.

could you post the whole line of the error?
it usually prints the line number of the file where it encountered the error

It either couldn't load the plugin,
or couldn't load the ICE compound.

in the later case, open the ICE tree
open the Preset Manager and update the list
by pressing the recycle button

or the previous line?

error messages usually look like this:
' ERROR : 21000 - Unspecified failure - [line 90 in C:\users\Administrator\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Addons\PolyMeshDuplicator\Application\Plugins\ApplyPolyMeshDuplicator.vbs]
