Topic: terrain model explorer won't come up

[drizzt]

I just started using LDT 2007 at a new company. When I open a file they previously created and try to open the Terrain model explorer, I get:

C:\Autodesk\Autodesk Land Desktop 2007\aeccapp50.arx cannot find a dll or other
file that it needs.
; error: ARXLOAD failed
Command:  Unknown command "LDD".  Press F1 for help.

Does this mean there is a bad install?

I know there are surfaces for this project, I saw them on another pc.

Pretty much!  You're obviously missing a file or two (or 3 or 4 or...).

It *could* be that you are missing paths from your Support path.

But it does sound a lot like a bad install...

this suggest a repair install is in order, or copy missing file from other machine and try again....

...or copy missing file from other machine and try again....

We've done that before... compared the folders of a good install vs. those of a bad install and noticed that there were less files in the bad install and simply copied them and *poof* all was right with the world again.

I am going to try the re-install and see what happens. Thanks for the fast responses!
