X7 Chook Debug Issue

[rocheey1]

Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit

MasterCam X7 rc1?/Mu0? not sure what to call it- but NOT MU1

Visual Studio 2010 Pro SP1

Novice to C++

 

Trying to stumble through setting my first CHook up to run in debug mode.

 

in my project Debugging properties, my "Command" is set to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx7\sdk\DEBUG\Mastercam.exe",

which is the install dir of the SDK. (BTW, tried changing this during install to %MCXINSTALLDIR% but it installed here anyway)

 

"Command Arguments" [blank]

"Working Directory" = "C:\Program Files\mcamx7\" //(%MCXINSTALLDIR%)

"Attach" No

"Debugger Type" Auto

"Environment" [blank]

"Merge Environment" Yes

Env-Var "SDK_X7" =C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx7\SDK

(And I feel like I know SOMETHING if I don't include the 'SQL Debugging' param)

 

When run from the IDE, i get the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b). Click OK to close the application"

 

Tried making a desktop shortcut;

Target="C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx7\SDK\debug\Mastercam.exe"

Start In: "C:\Program Files\mcamx7"

When I launch this shortcut I get the same error as launching from the IDE

 

When I directly click on :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx7\sdk\DEBUG\Mastercam.exe",

I get the error "The program can't start because IFStitch.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

 

"ifstitch.dll" is located in my MasterCam Install Dir, but not my SDK dir.

 

When I copied "ifstitch.dll" to my /SDK/Debug dir, I got the same error as when run from the IDE.

 

I'm not a teenager anymore, and don't have much hair left to pull out. Please let me continue to use a comb, and point me to what I've missed ? Thank you so much :/

You are not pointing to the 64 bit Mastercam.exe

"C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx7\sdk\DEBUG\Mastercam.exe"

 

The above command path would be correct, if you're running a 32 bit OS.

 

You need to be starting up the the 64 bit EXE ->

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx7\sdk\x64\DEBUG\Mastercam.exe"

Haa haa haa .... OOOOPS!

 

Thanx again, Roger

Adding C:\Program Files\mcamx7\ to the path solved the IFStitch.dll issue for me.

Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit

MasterCam X7 (16.0.8.0)

Visual Studio Prof. 2012 Version 11.0.61030.00 Update 4 with Platform Toolset v100 (Visual Studio 2010)

 

Trying the same as rocheey did. And made the same mistakes.

After correcting, as discribed here, my debug-environment won't start. i always get many failures "Debug Assertion Failed!".

My CHook-Prject is very simple and created with the Mastercam-CHook-Wizard with the "Dialog sample" option and without any additional code.

The x64 release version compiles and works correctly.

 

Please give me a hint.

Not sure what you'd have to do to get this ->

i always get many failures "Debug Assertion Failed!"

 

If you could zip up your CHook solution and send it to SDK <at> mastercam <dot> com we'll take a look at it.
