[Paraview] Branding branch

[A M]

Yes the ParaView Works perfectly fine!
However I fixed the problem and now I can compile the examples!! I think
there was two things caused this issue

   1. as you mentioned I had the compiled and binary of Paraview (Two
   different versions) both installed on the my computer which I think created
   some kind of conflicts there, I deleted all the versions and compiled the
   latest version.
   2. The second issue was the Path variable issue with Qt (as Eric
   mentioned) I added the Qt/lib to the path and also added the bin,lib and
   include to Visual Studio and just rebooted the computer, worked perfectly
   fine.

Thanks for your help though! really appreciated.


Kind Regards
~sam
