Hi,

I am starting to work on the OpenSim Developers' guide to create an opensim model. I get an error when I try to build a solution on visual C++.

I have read your comment that it is a known bug, but I could not understand the workaround mentioned in the developers' forum.

I would really appreciate it, if you could please explain the solution for that error step by step.

Thank you,

Hi,

Can you please explain the specific error your getting or the comment you're referring to?

Thanks,

This is the message I get on Visual C++,

But I get then a RegSvr32 error window saying:

To register a module you must provide a binary name.

I got the same error when I started working on the developers guide, I replaced "RegSvr32" with the generated binary and it was fine then.

Did you try to run the binairies generated by the code in the build folder you specified (to make sure that there's something wrong with the binaries)?

I will try that. Thank you for your help.

¿Which are the binary files generated?

Andres,

This depends on how you set your project, ususally the name is the same as the .cpp file used to create it (e.g. TugOfWar1_CreateModel.exe).

thank you, it was really useful
