See here for more information.Ĭorrupt Display – if Blender installs and launches but appears corrupt or broken this may be a result of graphics card driver compatibility issues. (see note here).įailed Launch – if Blender installs but fails to launch/open this is likely due to the minimum OpenGL requirements. Permissions – Blender may not function correctly if installed via a User Profile that has limited or Guest access to write system files – hidden parts of Windows etc.
Virus Scanners – Some virus scanners may block installation of programs that may modify system files and data which may require they be temporarily disabled.įirewall – although not normally necessary as part of the install process, a firewall may prevent installation across a network so will need to be cleared for deployment writing an appropriate ‘rule’ to allow access.įailed install – if installation fails double-check the downloaded file (*.msi) has not been corrupted – if MSI or ZIP download is interrupted this may cause issues requiring the file be re-downloaded. From the options listed select Send to, then Desktop (create shortcut). To add one, in the Blender installation folder or directory (access using Windows File Explorer) find blender.exe and right-click. Missing Desktop Icon – Using the ZIP file to install Blender a desktop icon will not be created. Installing multiple versions of Blender requires use of the *.zip archive version of the installer, and into a dedicated folder, either manually created (shown above) or generated during the extraction process. To avoid this, download the ZIP version of the installer and manually extract the file per the above (use the installation directory names already defined by the zip or manually create an install folder) – this allows any number or combination of versions to be kept and used.ĭesign note: this can be used for any version of Blender. Blender will remove 2.79b if it finds it).
In situations where multiple versions of Blender 3D need to be maintained, DO NOT USE the *.MSI installer to add another iteration as doing so will remove previous versions (typically the last valid version recognised, e.g. Manually installing Blender 2.8+ from a ZIP on Windows 10 (Pro).
