running mesh viewer

Post by paulr1984 »

Hi! I can't run the precompiled mesh viewer (version 0.15.0). I get this error:

21:32:54: Loading library OgrePlatform.dll
21:32:54: ArchiveFactory for archive type Zip registered.
21:32:54: Loading library .\RenderSystem_Direct3D9
21:32:54: D3D9 : Direct3D9 Rendering SubSystem created.
21:32:54: An exception has been thrown!

-----------------------------------

Error #: 9
Function: D3D9RenderSystem::D3D9RenderSystem
Description: Failed to create Direct3D9 object.
File: \Projects\OgreCVS\ogrenew\RenderSystems\Direct3D9\src\OgreD3D9RenderSystem.cpp
Line: 91
Stack unwinding: D3D9RenderSystem::D3D9RenderSystem(..) <- <<beginning of stack>>


I read that it runs out of the box. Besides, I have the DirectX9 sdk. What's wrong here?

It was compiled with the latest DirectX SDK, meaning you need the DirectX 9.0c runtime or later.
