[Paraview] plugin for 3D Delaunay

I am also looking for some working 3D Delaunay code that runs in a
PC/Windows environment; but I do not want to run it with Paraview.

Does anyone know of a standalone version of a 3D Delaunay code that runs in
a PC/Windows NT environment?

Thanks/Jim Dow

I managed to build ALL_BUILD with 0 errors/failures. I ended up installing
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, with Microsoft Platform SDK for
the build to work.

Now I have a paraview.exe file in paraview-3.2.1-build\bin\debug.
However, when I try to run it I get the error:

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

It looks like this is a common error when trying to run an application
compiled on a different computer, but I am compiling/running on the same
computer.

Can I ask exactly what version of Visual Studio people have had success with
(any additional packages required, etc.), and the download location where
they obtained it? Do I need the complete "Visual Studio 2008 Professional
Edition" for example as opposed to Visual C++ Express Edition?


Thanks.
