52<h2>Installation/Uninstallation-Related Errors and Warnings</h2>
53<p>
54If an error related to installation or uninstallation occurs, it is displayed by Script Editor and on the status line at the bottom of the Softimage screen. Errors you should be particularly aware of are described here.
55</p>
56<ul>
57<li><B>ERROR : 2000 - Library not found:  ...\NW4C_Export.dll.<br> (ERROR : 2000 - Library not found: ...\NW4C_Export.dll.)</strong>
58  <p>This error may be displayed when installing the plug-in or running it for the first time after installation. This error message is output because DLL dependency relationships cannot be configured due to the environment. The plug-in will function without problems once Softimage is restarted.
59　</p>
60  </li>
61<li><B>ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: NW4C_XXX<br> (ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: NW4C_XXX)</strong>
62  <p>
63The name of the custom parameter set (custom property) is used in place of XXX.<br> This error may appear when installing or uninstalling the plug-in or when loading a scene. This error message is output when a scene that includes NW4C_XXX properties is loaded without the Export plug-in installed. Check if the Export plug-in has been installed.<br> For details on the custom parameter set name used, see <a href="data_plugins.html#kind" target="main">Data Creation Plug-in Types</a>.
