What does the error message means exactly?
Seems like it can't find indigo_console.exe from Mat_Prev folder?

Hi, I can translate the phrase "impossibile eseguire il programma specificato" as " Impossible to execute the program specified"
that I think should be the console.exe

Hey,
See if you have the console.exe in that folder.

Also (as a general tip) use only "good" characters in material names. Indigo doesn't like foreign symbols and such.

Ok this evening, when I will be at home, I will check for console.exe program. I almost shure that the program is in the folder.
At the same time I'll try with a good material name if something changes

If the .exe is there and it still doesn't work, then post the material_preview.igs file from the same folder. I'll take a look at it.

Hi, the indigo_console.exe is in the mat_prev folder.
I've changed the 02_default material name in "teapot" but doesn't still work fine

I attach the material_preview.igs file

Eh..sorry, my bad

I need to have the prev_mat.igs file and not the material_preview.igs
Can you please post the prev_mat.igs?
Or even better, you could pack the whole directory

et voilà

Thanks Saxo !
I think I found the problem. Maxigo probably doesn't automatically copy the required dll's from indigo root folder to Mat_prev folder. These are needed for console.exe to start. See if you have the dll's and if not, then you can copy the dll's manually from Indigo's root to Mat_prev folder. Take all of them.

[edit]
Actually I don't have Maxigo here at work, so I'm not 100% sure if Maxigo copies the dll's or not? But check out if you have the dll's in the Mat_prev folder

Thanks for your reply. Now I can't check because I'm at work, but I'm quite shure that the DLL files are NOT in the folder.
This because the RAR file that I posted yesterday night is the complete folder that was in my Indigo.

I'll try your solution and I'll give an answer as soon as possible

Sutpid me, of course

Yeah, then those missing dll's are the problem. Will have to check that part in Maxigo.

I don't have any .dll files in ...\indigo_v1.0.9_3\Exported_From_Max\Mat_Prev but preview works...

Also if i just unrar your folder and run the Batch file, I get no error or anything and this result:
