[vtkusers] Using VTK in a Visual C++ project Express 2010

Thu May 26 08:51:39 EDT 2011

Hi Bob,

this feels like a more general MSVC problem within your setup. I made a small project with your code and it works as expected for me; for reference I included a zip of my solution folder (I originally did this in MSVC 2008, then noticed you use 2010 and converted the solution to the 2010 format. Both worked for me). You might have to adjust the include/lib paths when you try it on your box.

I am really no expert for these strange error messages. I googled a bit using your error messages and came up with several hits, so this seems to be a more common problem. I found the following discussion kind of close to your description : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/3f2869ca-2c07-49a8-a443-52720b10ea09/
I don’t want to pretend that I understand much of their discussion, but it seems to me that these problems are more likely to appear if the vtk libraries and your exe are built with different versions of the MSVC. So did you built your vtk by yourself (this is the case for me)  or did you download a binary distribution ?

Else I am lost here too.

Daniel

Dr. Frese,

I, unlike you, have had  no success !
My main code follows:

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)

{

// create sphere geometry

// App runs with the line below commented out

Console::WriteLine(L"Pre vtkSmartPointer stmt");

Console::ReadLine();

vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource> sphere = vtkSmartPointer<vtkSphereSource>::New();

Console::WriteLine(L"Post vtkSmartPointer stmt");

Console::ReadLine();

return 0;

}
 I do get a clean build and execute console statements as expected if I remove the one vtk statement.
When I add it, I still get a clean build but execution fails before the Console::ReadLine(); executes.
with the following error:

LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe C:\WINDOWS\system32\vtkCommon.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002

Debugger:: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load

The program '[1160] Freese01.exe: Native' has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002).

===================================================================

Any thoughts ?
