So I got a new PC and I wanted to start modding on it again so I have been downloading everything I need for modding. When I tried installing the softimage_mod_tool and the xsizetools addon everything seemed to be working fine up until I started testing the addon. I wanted to import the atap.msh as a test. when I tried to import the mesh it only imported the dummyroot and a lowres model nothing else and I was given the error "Encountered an error while importing. copy error to clipboard?"

So I read the error log and it said:
Last 15 log lines:

If someone could make sense of this that would be much appreciated.

Do you still have this problem? Does this happen with every msh?

Yeah I still do and it is consistent with every msh sometimes it will only be a dummy root. I don't know if it is that I have C++ 2015 - 2019 installed instead of just 2015 that caused it. It could be that I'm an idiot and did something wrong on that end. would I need to install an older version of Visual C++ Redistributable?

Took me a while but I found the problem. It seems newer versions of pywin32 generate python code from COM objects differently, which causes this issue.

To fix, uninstall your current version of pywin32 (through Windows apps) and install this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin3 ... e/download

This worked like a charm thanks a ton!
