Hi Stromausfall,

Yeah when I run the lite-c scripts that come with the engine it displays my name and lists it as Commercial edition. I have full admin privileges on my machine and the project is located in a separate partition to the OS so there shouldn't be any locks on the working dir.

I'm going to try and uninstall everything to do with 3DGS and then reinstall it all, I'll see if that has any bearing on the problem.

it's a confusing one.

did you have any luck yet ?

I have un-installed 3DGS re-installed it, cleaned my registry, set access rights, ran both debug and release builds all to no avail.

The call stack where the program crashes is as follows:

1) EngVar.initializePointers(IntPtr engVarPointer)

2) [within the function above]
#if A7_WRAPPER
#else
renderLayerEventHandler =
new Scheduler.NativeEventHandler<EventVoid>(renderLayerPointer);
#endif

3) setIntPtrFromIntPtr(IntPtr intPtrToVariable, IntPtr intPtrToWrite)

The exception occurs in the last function call.

Which version of A8 do use ?

I downloaded the version that was supplied within my download link which is 8.03

Excellent ! I think this may be the solution to the problem ^^

go to http://www.3dgamestudio.com/download.php

and then download the
"Gamestudio / A8 (free version / trial version - V 8.10 - ~100 MB - December 2010)"

and then activate it ! Most likely the problem occured because you used 8.03 instead of 8.10 ! It's nonetheless a bit misleading that you didn't get a download link to the newest version !

Stromausfall, you are a genius. It;s now working fine and dandy.

Thank you very much.

Glad it worked ! ^^

a new version was uploaded (for Acknex 7.85.4 AND Acknex 8.10)
the update of the wrapper includes:

- DYNAMIC flag was assigned to flags instead of emask, thus DYNAMIC didn't work - fixed

here's the link:

Hi,

I think ive found a problem.
I usually compile the wrapper and add the dll reference to project. This workd when i use A8, but when i went back to A7 to try out some shaders, (i only have A8 free)i find it only works if i add the AW folder to the project, not as dll.
I tried all the examples out and that is the result i got.
Using A7_WRAPPER as conditional i have to remove the dll reference and add the AW folder to the project.
Without A7_WRAPPER as conditional the dll works fine.
Hope this makes sense my explanation.
