Simtk core installation problem

SimTKcore exists as a separate project to provide 'one stop shopping' for SimTK Core software and support, although the software is actually developed as a set of interdependent projects. SimTK 1.0 was released in March 2008, SimTK 2.0 in December, 2009.

Simtk core installation problem

Post by Kishor Bhalerao » Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:16 pm

Hi,

I attempted to install the SimTK core (from file SimTKcore_VC9.exe obtained from Simtkcore webpage) on two different windows machines in my lab and it did not work out. The two executables, AuxInstallCheck.exe and CoreInstallCheck.exe both terminate with the same error message "The application failed to initialize properly".

Any suggestions on what could be wrong ? The OS is Windows XP on both the machines.

Thanks,
Kishor Bhalerao

Sounds like a path problem -- what do you think, Jack?

Hi Kishor,

Is Visual Studio installed on these machines and if it is, which version?

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

Both the machines have Visual C++ 2008 Express edition, V 9.0 installed on them.

Thanks,
Kishor.

Hi Kishor,

We think the problem is an incompatibility with the Visual Studio Express runtime on your machines and the Visual Studio Professional we used to build SimTK. We are working on a Visual Studio Express version of SimTK and should have it ready by early next week. Would you be willing to help us test it?

We will build both debug and release versions.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,
Yes, I will certainly help in testing the Express version of SimTK.

Thanks,
