I know that the latest version of IRender nXt on our downloads page, RF20, works with SketchUp 8:

Why are you installing an older version of IRender nXt? Are you installing an older version to use with your current license?

What is the file name that you are using to install IRender nXt? The name of the downloaded .zip or .exe should tell me the IRender nXt version number. Then, I could find that older version and try it here to see if I get that same error with SketchUp 8.
