Octopus and Ogre Export don't work together?

I had installed octopus exporter. I made a test scene with meterials, textures, multiple objects, and exported .mesh, .material and .scene. It worked perfectly. After that, I installed Ogre Export (found in ogrenew\Tools\3dsmaxExport). Then, when I try octopus, it gave me an error. It said "Unkown member of struct" or something like that. I do not know maxscript, I'm still a max beginner, so I did not understand. I'm using 3ds max 7. Maybe one of you max experts can recreate it and try to fix it?

iirc in octopus readme there is stated that octopus and official ogre 3ds exporter can't be both installed at the same time. i think is because octopus is partially derived from 3dsmaxExport.

By myself, i've installed both Octopus and OgreExporter - and to work with them i need only do MAXScript->Run Script... initOctopus.ms to work with Octopus and initOgreTools.ms for OgreExporter (both by default must be in scripts/startup/)...
Wish it'll help you.
