Loading 2 sets of MSVC libraries would make sense. The normal paraView libraries will find the c/c++ runtime libraries in the same directory and load those. The plugins will find the c/c++ libraries where ever the redistributable libraries are installed and thus load up a separate set of libraries.
You are better off simply building paraview on your own system. Of course, ParaView code could be changed to look for plugins in the directory where the libraries are located which would solve the problem. I think. _________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson [email protected] On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 6:06 PM, Moreland, Kenneth <[email protected]> wrote: > I tried adding the runtime redistributable.
