I think you need to provide more details. You should run the demos from the ogrenew/Samples/Common/bin/Release or Debug folder, otherwise they can't find the necessary files.

If that's not the problem, try building in debug mode, and see if that gives some more information when running. Try posting the log from a debug run.

Hi, I am a newbie as well setting up for the first time.
I also got the same error when running from inside VS7.
It throws an uncaught exception when trying to open "ogre.cfg".
When you run the exe directly from its directory it works fine - however you loose the convenience of running it straight from VS. Is this normal?

kingsley:
Pressing ctrl F5 will still throw this exception but it won't ask you about it and if you're trying to debug by pressing F5, just click continue instead of break when it asks you and the demo will start just fine.

PS: I always forget stuff After you run a demo once, ogre.cfg will be created so it won't throw that exception anymore.

Thanks Lodes,

I was able to build and run tutorial 1 which in turn must have created ogre.cfg. The demos all run fine now (that is those that my humble graphics card can handle
