Non programmer trying to set up Mogre

Hello there everyone

I looked everywhere to try and find my specific issue with setting up Mogre 1.4.8 on my PC.
Anyways here it goes. I followed the set up guide in tutorial Zero to the letter and I am getting errors.
The errors vary depending if Im using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 or Visual C# 2008 Express
Here are the errors:

VS 2010:
When compiling I get a could not load file because file could not be found

VS 2008 Express:
When compiling I get a could not load file or assembly "Mogre" or one of its dependencies...An attempt was made to load a program with an invalid format

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Are you on a 64 bit machine and a 64-bit OS? I am and working with 1.6.4 and I have seen Invalid format errors, as well as broken solution paths. I don't know if this helps you, but I have fixed both of these by making sure I never build in Visual Studio with "Any CPU" build target selected (a combobox in the VS toolbar next to Debug/Release), and always change it to x86 if that's one of the options (needed to do this in the MogreSamples solution, and somewhere else I think. Some solutions only have the "Win32" option though, which I think should be fine.)

Currently I am running windows 7 64-bit...I see these tool bars that you are talking about but in both versions they are set to debug in x86 code.

Welcome to the Mogre forum

The Mogre version 1.4.8 is outdated.
Please use the 1.6.x version.

Since October we build up a new SDK for Mogre from the scratch.
It should make more easy the life, especially for newcomers.

The download links are in the first post of the thread Mogre 1.6.5:
viewtopic.php?p=64380#p64380

The depencies you can find here:
http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Mo ... pendencies
Alternatively the SDK installer shows you the download links.

The examples of the SDK are for Visual Studio 2008. I suppose you can convert them to VS 2010.


There still can be problems with the SDK.
So we are happy for problem/bug reports and improvement ideas
