[Paraview] failed to launch paraview.exe

[Xunlei Wu]

Hi Utkarsh,

It is the same setup with my MSVC2008 ParaView, where Qt is a prebuild release with MSVC2008 from
http://code.google.com/p/qt-msvc-installer/downloads/list
Very good catch!!! Does that mean I should either rebuild Qt with MSVC2010 or let ParaView build Qt along the way?

Best,
x

Xulei,

Just to be sure you are using Qt that was built with the same compilter right?
