Dear all,
When I try to run some C++ examples in VTK, I am always requested to specify the name of the executable file to be used for the debug session. What does this mean and how may I proceed. The available options in the dialog box are : 1. Internet explorer, 2. ActiveXControl Test Container and 3. regsvr32.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
Femi
