I am doing everything as a user with administrative privileges.
I have no problem accessing the server via the windows file explorer or Softimage But when I linked the workgroup under softimage"preference" "data management"
the BA shaders plugin doesn't get installed in win 8.1
Not sure if that is giving me the "unspecified error" or it is a separate issue.
Maybe I will tried to install the BA shaders manually.

The machines render fine in Royal Render just not through the Soft interface.

Thanks,
Leoung

one thing that may or may not have anything to with this is installing or running SI as administrator. what happened to me couple times is if you have setup network paths and access details as user and run SI as administrator it doesn't see any network stuff.
A bit had to explain but...
For example I had access to storage as mirkoj user
But if I run SI as administrator it cannot access storage with workgroup, projects etc.

Maybe has something to do with that?

    I am installing 2015 Soft to win 8.1, the installation went
    accordingly.
    I usually go to Soft "preference" data management" and  set the
    workgroup path to workgroup on my server for the Binary Alchemy
    Volume shaders.
    That what I have been doing with and win7 and works well but in
    win 8.1 I don't see the workgroup or the plugins  when I check the
    plugin manager.
    Now I am getting an "unspecified error" when I tried to render a
    scene in Mental Ray, I wonder if this BA shaders related?

    Redshift renders fine.

    Anyone else have this problem in win 8.1?

    Thanks,
