[vtkusers] VTK 6.0 with Visual Studio

[Robert Maynard]

Are you able to provide more information on the exact violation
exceptions with a back trace? Access violations can occur when you
call methods on a NULL object, so it could be a case that a object
factory that is NULL is being asked to create classes.

When I began the port to 6.0, I followed the migration guide found here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide and the code builds and links just fine.  However, when I run it, I'm getting access violation exceptions (attempts to read/write protected memory) when I try instantiating with New().  Researching further, I see that this problem is mentioned here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Factories_now_require_defines  HOWEVER I'm not getting NULL objects with the New() call, I'm getting exceptions.  Furthermore, it doesn't happen with every VTK object; some instantiate and can be used just fine.  Nonetheless, I tried the suggestions at the second link, regarding definition of VTK AUTOINIT, and they proved fruitless.  So I'm currently at a loss...
