[sunny hwang]

Hi,

I've just installed the new Creo 3.0 (F000) version and KS5 pro. I have now an error message at the start:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Creo Toolkit startup errors
Creo Toolkit registry file C:\Program Files\KeyShot5 Floating\Plugins\Creo 64bit\protk.dat
application 'KeyShot5' failed to start; see trailfile for details.
----------------------------------------------------------------

the trail file here's what it says:

Yeah, the 3.0 plugin simply doesn't work under Windows 8 for Creo 3. This has been fixed, and there's a new version of the plugin that's being tested internally and will be out very soon. If your need for the plugin is particularly critical, you might request early access by going through support@luxion.com, but be aware that it is still under testing.
