Hello, Hope you are having an amazing day. I have a very important project. The problem is I installed contextcapture center on my windows 10 machine. it opened successfully. However, when I try open ccengine.exe it gives an unable to start application error!! I tried everything to solve it. I installed contextcapture again, tried different versions of it, tried updating my GPU drivers and downgrading them, I even tried it on different windows versions and on windows 11!! I am literally lost, I need to finish the project and this happens!! If someone can help me literally right now it would be so much appreciated!!
We suggest you to create a service request and we will contact you.
Bruneau can you suggest a solution please, the project deadline is soon!!!
This is a known issue and a defect was filed for this. The problem we have is that none of us internally can reproduce it and this makes it difficult to troubleshoot it unfortunately. Note that this might be resolved on next CC release. For the time being, the usage of CC U17 is the workaround. We apologize for this situation.
Hi Ben,
If you only have 1 PC, why did you install ContextCapture Center instead of ContextCapture?
What are the different editions of ContextCapture?
The Center version is specifically designed to allow computations to be parallelized on a cluster of 3D reconstruction engines. This means multiple GPUs, PCs, servers, etc...
If you have only one PC with a single GPU you should probably be using ContextCapture rather than ContextCapture Center.
Regards,Ron
Both CC Center and CC Desktop are identical. Only difference that CC Desktop doesn't allow multiple engines.
Reason to use Center edition would be to avoid artificial limitations.
This table is little bit confusing how Desktop edition can be used on ≤ 2 computers?
ContextCapture Desktop can use a maximum of 2 engines while in CC Center it is unlimited. Use the link below for more informations about ContextCapture vs ContextCapture Center.
What are the different editions of ContextCapture? - ContextCapture | Descartes | Pointools | Orbit Wiki - ContextCapture | Descartes | Pointools | Orbit - Bentley Communities
When this change was introduced?
This was first introduced in Update 12. A license still neds to be purchased for the second Engine:
(+) Parallel processing available in ContextCapture CONNECT Edition - ContextCapture | Descartes | Pointools | Orbit Blog - ContextCapture | Descartes | Pointools | Orbit - Bentley Communities
