Problems with Vista

Is there any magic required to run NxOgre with Windows Vista ?

I have it running fine with XP machines, however I get a crash under Vista.

Using the PhysX SDK 2.7.2, and testing with Cakebox and NxOgre SVN version.

Thought I'd ask before begining a serious set of debugging (as I don't currently have a compiler configured on the Vista machine )

Cheers

I'm using Vista right now with NxOgre. It's my main development platform. Everything works fine.

Any chance of you zipping up your 'tutorial' exe folder and emailing it to me (or posting it somewhere) so I can test...

Can send it to nzmillers at gmail.com

I'd rather not, it's quite big.

Did you install the Visual Studio Service Pack 1 Vista upgrade as well? That may make a difference.

I did install the service pack (the vista specific one this time), did a complete rebuild and have the same issue ..

However I'm building on an XP machine and moving things across to Vista, so guess I'll have to try and setup a build system on the Vista machine

This will be a first though, everything else I've build on XP (for Python-Ogre) has worked great under Vista, I wonder what the difference is with NxOgre/PhysX ?

So I found the problem

Turns out I was using a config.yaml from an earlier tutorial pack and the device name was set for dx9 -- which in the current CakeFramework is NOT the directX driver name (it's direct3d9)

So it was defaulting to the Gl driver which under Vista is ugly and hence crashed.. Sorry for the mix up..

Also I've release the 1.0 version of Python-Ogre that includes support for NxOgre http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/viewtopic.php?t=5063&start=0
