Hi Robert, Thank you for your reply. It was supposed to be "arguments.", just a typo.
I did finally get the viewer to run and it was indeed caused by mixed OSG lib/dll's running with our software and dependencies. Basically, rebuilding osg1.2 from source on the vista machine and linking with all components also "freshly" built in the same environment made the exceptions like the one described stop completely.

With the assumption that this is just a typo, the crash is very odd indeed. The code is all pretty straight forward. The arguments.getApplicationUsage() should return the ApplicationUsage::instance(), that is attached in the ArgumentParser constructor. This has never been reported as an issue before, but perhaps some how on your system the instance() function is working. It's worth noting that osg::ApplicationUsage and osg::ArgumentParser have changed little since 1.2, and the usage example you provide is similar to the standard OSG examples so is something that is compiled and run very often by many hundreds of developers working under Vista without problem. Given this, I'd guess that the problem is down to issues at your end, perhaps a problem with mixed OSG lib/dll's, or not setting the correct options in VS such as mulit-threaded dll's etc. Robert.
