Could not load dynamic library OgrePlatform_d.dll

I've been trying to get OgreDotNet working in my Windows Forms application with VS 2005. When I start up the program and make a new Root(), the program errors out. Ogre.log contains this:


14:53:08: Creating resource group General

I've placed OgrePlatform_d.dll in the Debug directory, the project directory, and the solution directory. Is it actually not finding it, or is something else going on? I'm using the stock 1.2 SDK, and the most recent precompiled OgreDotNet libs.

Thanks,

Ben

I took a look at the source of DynLib::load. It seems about as straightforward as it gets; just a thin wrapper around LoadLibrary. Yet it isn't finding the library where LoadLibrary is supposed to look for it. Perhaps it actually is finding it, but OgrePlatform's entry point errors out with that message, looking for another library? Or am I totally off base? I really have no idea how this could be happening, but then I'm not really up to speed on manifests and SxS and other recent library happenings.

Further information: This seems to be specific to OgrePlatform_d.dll. Calling LoadLibrary("OgrePlatform_d.dll") errors out with the "module not found" error. Calling LoadLibrary on cg.dll, for instance, works fine, even though OgrePlatform_d is in all the directories cg is in.

I experianced the same Issue when using the debug Binaries, from teh log it appeared that OGRE.net was looking in entirely the wrong location for the OGREplatform_d.dll.

This issue does not occur in the release version of the binaries.

So di I, i have the same problem.

Any idea for solving it ?

we are currently trying to fix this problem. If you want more info see the VS.net pro thread.
