Need your help

Post by tatvainfopci33 »

Hello irrlichat team

Thanks in advance, Can you please help me?
I am facing problem with irrlicht.NET.dll(Version 0.11.2724.16601).
My project is working last few year with this dll and .net framework 2.0.

Now, We have decided change framework of my project from framework 2.0 to framework 4.5.
When i change framework 2.0 to framework 4.5 of my project and create setup file of this my project then i am facing problem with irrlicht.NET.dll

When i install setup file then i am getting this error "Unable to get installer types in path -> unable to load one or more of the requested types".
If i remove irrlicht.NET.dll and related code then setup working fine.

I had added msvcp70.dll ,msvcp71.dll ,mfc71.dll and MFC71u.dll in working project (framework 2.0)
Other point,
If i change framework 2.0 to 3.0 then working fine.
if i change framework 2.0 to 4.0 then getting error.(same with framework 4.5)
I used visual studio 2010
Do we need to add depended DLL for irrlicht.NET.dll with framework 4.0?
What is wrong with framework 4.0/4.5 with irrlicht.NET.dll(Version 0.11.2724.16601)?
Can you please help?

Thanks

So when you reference Irrlicht.Net, creating a setup file is not working? Are you using a installer created using VisualStudio?
Sorry, but very few people here have experience with that. Though you could look for another way of creating an installer for your project.

P.S. Is VisualStudio 2010 supporting .net 4.5? I thought it only supports .net 4.0.
And you could also try IrrlichtLime, another .net wrapper which is more up-to-date.

Hello Foaly,

Thanks for reply,
Yes, Setup file is not working. (This is working with code)
Yes, I used installer using Visual Studio
We will focus on .net 4.0 in Visual Studio 2010.
I have tested with following step
1) Download Irrlicht.Net.dll(0.2.0.0) (Irrlicht.dll, Irrlicht.Net.dll)
2) Remove irrlicht.NET.dll(Version 0.11.2724.16601) from my project
3) Add new dll Irrlicht.Net.dll(0.2.0.0) and add reference Irrlicht.dll in setup file
4) Create setup file using visual studio
5) Now, Setup file is working
But If I use Irrlicht.Net.dll (0.2.0.0) in my project then I need to some change in code. Like
In irrlicht.NET.dll(Version 0.11.2724.16601), Namespace name is Irrlicht.Video and
In Irrlicht.Net.dll(0.2.0.0) , Namespace name is Irrlicht.Net.Video

I think, there is some problem with Irrlicht.dll for .net 4.0
Is there possible with irrlicht.NET.dll(Version 0.11.2724.16601) and Irrlicht.dll for .net 4.0? because I need to change my code with new version dll

Thanks
