No, it crashes on engine_open() line in the wrapper:
EngVar.EngineVarPtr = NativeEngFun.engine_open(tempString, 0);

and saying it could not find acknex.dll.
But the path should be good in the post build event.

It should be...

"C:\Program Files\GStudio7\WED.exe" -p "$(TargetDir)\$(TargetFileName)".

Open the folder where your exe is located (usually in the bin/debug folder) and when you build your project, check to see that the 'acknex.dll' is actual copied.

Yes got that, although my drive is D:.
I removed the acknex.dll in the debug folder, build it, and it complains that it can't find it. But the acknex.dll is in the folder, again so it is copied.

hmm that's strange, i'm not sure why it wouldn't find it. The exe will always search it's working directory first for the dll. The other explanation could be that you are actually building the exe in a different folder.

Check Project > [ProjectName] Properties > Build > Output path. It should be 'bin\Debug\'.

Apart from that i'm not sure what's going on.

The path is bin\release but changing has no effect.
Could it be a screwed newer version of 3dgs?

EDIT:
Even the examples like firstprogram/compiled/FirstTestProgram.exe wont work. What's going on .

Sorry for doublepost.
Anyone knows a possible solution?

When I download the wrapper and try an example, it can't find acknex.dll. The cause can't thus be visual studio nor gamestudio related, as published apps should work. Is it .NET?

What .NET framework version are you running? Are you using the free visual C# express or visual studio (even though this shouldn't really make a difference).

I think maybe the problem is not that 'DLLImport' can't find 'acknex.dll' but it can't find another dll that acknex.dll is dependant upon.

You can use a program called 'dependency walker' to check which dlls acknex.dll needs. You may also have to change your PATH environment variables.

But if normal lite-c apps work when published, then I would try re-installing .NET or updating to the newest version, if possible.

did a reinstall but no effect.

But luckily it has been solved. As you say acknex.dll was missing dependencies. No idea what ones but copying all dll's in the 3dgs folder to the project folder provided the solution . This is a big relief. Certainly will give dependency walker a try. Thank you!

ahh I would say it is most likely 'd3dx9_30.dll' that it needed. Glad you got it working.

Hey Stromausfall, there seems to be a problem with 'ang_rotate'. Whenever I try to use it I get...

"Unable to cast object of type 'AcknexWrapper.Vector' to type 'AcknexWrapper.Angle'."

...and it may not be limited to ang_rotate.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
