Hi,

I built the trunk version of ImageViewer, current as of an hour ago.  When I run it in VS2008, it craps out with a FileLoadException; see below.  If I remove the 7 vtk*.dll files from the plugins directory, it runs. 

After cleaning them out, a rebuild of the solution puts the vtk files back in the plugins directory.  So their presence is not accidental.  Are these really plugins?  Does it work on your system?  I'm using Windows XP Pro. 

Any tips appreciated. 

System.IO.FileLoadException was unhandled

 Hi Steve,

This seems to happen on machines that don't have the latest windows updates.  We think we've narrowed it down to this specific update:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...laylang=en

But if that doesn't do it then getting all updates seems to address the issue.

Hi Henry,

Thanks for the tip.  I tried it on another machine, and it does indeed work.  Now I just have to figure out what is different between the two :-)

I'll try updating the nonfunctional machine later today. 

Thanks,

-Steve

Hi,

That seems to have done the trick.  I can now run CC again.

I'm a little puzzled, however: the fix was for VS 2005 stuff, whereas I'm using VS2008.  So how does that fix the problem?  Is the VTK dot net stuff compiled with VS 2005?

Cheers,

-Steve
