Title: Vista incompatibility issues
Post by: scorch on August 06, 2011, 11:30:39 am

Hi. I'm a .NET programmer and I am using SDL in my project. But then I saw you library, which has many features SDL lacks, and has also an official binding for .NET technologies. So I've downloaded the .NET SDK and tried the demos. Big problem: none of them work.

Then I read here in the forum a post where a user reported a compatibility issue with Windows Vista. It was something related to the rendering of the window. I would like to know if that is true, if there still is that bug, and if there are any ways to get around it.

Thanks,
Scorch :)

I don't remember such a problem with Vista. Can you please tell me exactly what happens when you run the examples? Have you tried to run them from Visual Studio with the debugger?

When I launch the demos none of them start. If I run the sound demos from the console, it outputs the following error:

Quote

Excepção não processada: System.DllNotFoundException: Não é possível carregar DLL 'csfml-audio': Impossível localizar o módulo especificado. (Excepção de HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
   em SFML.Audio.SoundBuffer.sfSoundBuffer_CreateFromFile(String Filename)
   em SFML.Audio.SoundBuffer..ctor(String filename)
   em sample_sound.Program.PlaySound()
   em sample_sound.Program.Main(String[] args)

This seems like it dowsn't finds the DLL's. I've even copied them into bin folder, but they still don't work. And I can't run the projects in my VS2010, because the projects are from an older version and the conversion always makes an error.

You must copy the CSFML DLLs (from the extlibs directory), in addition to the SFML.Net ones. They must be in the same directory as the executable, or in a directory which is in the PATH environment variable.

Ops. Didn't knew that. Now most of the demos work, but the OpenGL and the Window demo still don't work. However Post-FX demo works.

They don't even open.

No error? Do they open first before closing immediately? Do they appear in the process manager?

They don't even open. They appear in the proccess list, just a small moment, but they don't appear under the applications list.

Is it related to the Tao DLL? I've been loking around and in the samples there is a reference for the Tao.FreeGlut (I think), but I haven't seen any of this DLL's in the SDK.

PS: Sorry fo the double-post. :oops:

Indeed, it's not in the SDK, you must have it installed.
