FTM editor issue on Microsoft tablet

Hello everybody,

Installing FTM.2.5.0.BETA.23.exe works perfectly on every of our PC with our license of Max 6.1 but on our Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. Here is the Max window of a patch of us using FTM externals that hasn’t any mistake on PC but that does have these ones on the tablet:
FTM_issue_1|690x335
On the tablet, we can call ftm.editor: FTM_issue_2.PNG
FTM_issue_2|690x450
However, we get this error:
FTM_issue_3|690x236
While this external does exist in C:\Program Files (x86)\Cycling '74\Max 6.1\Cycling '74\ftm-and-co\ftm-externals

(ftm.mess seems to work though, even if there is a mistake in our patch Max window on the tablet)

Each of our devices has the same configuration:

  • Windows 10
  • 64 bits

We tried to re-install FTM many times (of course in the right Max 6.1 folder), rebooting the tablet, substitute the files FTM.2.5.0.BETA.23.exe by these ones: http://listes.ircam.fr/wws/d_read/ftm/

Even launch the built application.exe of our patch gives the same errors on the tablet while it works perfectly on any PC that hasn’t MaxMSP.

Thank you very much for your help,

Romain
