CgProgramManager Plugin Error

I'm currently trying to add CgProgramManager Plugin to my application, but everytime I add it as a plugin to the plugins.cfg file, when debugging the game it crashes on launch.

The following error is output.


I'm currently using MOGRE 1.7.1.0 with VB.NET 2010, with .NET framework 4.0.

I've also tried compiling MOGRE from the source but whenether I try to run the game using those DLL's the game will crash on launch.

Thank you in advance.

could you post your ogre.log content ? is the cg.dll and the cgProgramManager on the same directory ?

Here's the plugins.cfg file:
# Defines plugins to load

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=.

# Define plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager_d


And here's the ogre.log file:

EDIT: I have the cg.dll file and the plugin dll on the same directory as the executable.

You use the Plugin_CgProgramManager_d, which is the debug version of the plugin. since the other plugin are not the debug version, i assume you use the release version of mogre. In this case, you must use the release version of the plugin, the one that don't have _d at the end. You must avoid mixing debug / release version of plugins.

I've changed to the Release version of cg and it's plugin and instead the following error occurs:

do you use the correct version of the cg plugin ? (the one that come with the mogre package) seem like you try to load a library that haven't been built against mogre. Try to open it in dependency walker : http://www.dependencywalker.com/, and see if it can load it without error. also, double check that you use a valid Plugin_CgProgramManager.

When trying to open dependencywalker with cg.dll, i get an error if i use the x64 version of the program. If I use the x86 it works fine. Should this problem be related with a x64 OS?

I've tried the plugin from the MogreSDK release folder and the program runs, although when it starts to initialise resources it returns a AccessViolationException.

bump. anyone?

Seems that if I use mRoot.EnablePlugin after all the resources are loaded there ain't an error. But whenever I try to use, for example, CaelumSharp with a cg shader, It says that it doesn't have any supported techniques.
