Hi All,<div><br></div><div>I have tracked down the issue. That being an inconspicuous Visual Studio Security update (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; "><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=49&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=294de390-3c94-49fb-a014-9a38580e64cb&u=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2f%3fkbid%3d971092" style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128); ">KB971092</a>) </span>that was installed sometime after I did the 3.6.1 release. Binaries built with that patch applied appear to not run on older revisions of XP (SP2). Thus, I have uninstalled the update, rebuilt ParaView 3.6.2 and uploaded the regenerated binary to the download server. I have verified that it does work on a clean SP2 machine BUT you must either install the Visual Studio runtime redistributable (simple)<div>

<div><br></div><div>OR copy the runtime dlls (Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest, msvcm90.dll msvcp90.dll msvcr90.dll) distributed with ParaView into each plugin's folder (ugly) in order to get plugins to work.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Any one using an up-to-date Windows XP or newer (Vista,7) should be able to disregard these directions.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Please report and further issues relating to this and thank you for the feedback!</div>

When you profile ParaView does the main executable and plugins load the
same MSVC dlls. ( F9 shows full paths of loaded dlls ).<br>
<br>
If they don't load the same dlls, comparing the manifest files will
determine if the problem is two different versions of the MSVC are
being used.<div><div></div><div><br>

The plugins now load without complaint, but they do not work. The
SLAC tools plugin does not create a toolbar like it is supposed to.
The point sprite plugin does not create the “Point Sprite”
representation to the representation combo box. The VisIt reader
plugin allows you to open .silo files, but they always end up with
empty data.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have an idea why that is? Could it be using two different
sets of MSVC libraries?<br>

Actually that might not be a bad idea. We can even make it a option<br>
that the user can uncheck, if he wants. Maybe we should look into that<br>
for 3.8.<br>
