[ITK Community] Exception caught from itkImageFileReader.hxx

[Girish, Gavaskar Ruturaj]

Hello all.

I have compiled a program which uses ITK (version 4.6). When I run the program I immediately get the following error and it aborts:

Exception caught when reading data image. The error is:

itk::ImageFileReaderException (000000000018CDA8)
Location: "void __cdecl itk::ImageFileReader<class itk::Image<float,3>,class itk
::DefaultConvertPixelTraits<float> >::GenerateOutputInformation(void)"
File: c:\program files\itk\include\itk-4.6\itkImageFileReader.hxx
Line: 143
Description:  Could not create IO object for file ..\..\image.dcm
  Tried to create one of the following:
  You probably failed to set a file suffix, or
    set the suffix to an unsupported type.

I have tried this many times with (3D) .dcm and (multipage) .tif input files, and I get the same error every time. I can surely say that I am giving the file extension correctly.
What could be the cause of this error?

Thanks.

Regards
Ruturaj

P.S.: I haven't written the program. It is freely available here<http://mosaic.mpi-cbg.de/?q=downloads/RCITK>. I am not familiar with the source code. I just want to know which different scenarios could give rise to this error (e.g. unsupported suffix & any others) which might help me know what is going wrong.
