I just did a fresh install of Panda3d-1.1.0 on Windows XP
and well, it won’t seem to work… there is an issue for about everything I try. This is what i get when I try to run what should be the most basic thing:
C:\Panda3D-1.1.0\samples\Basic-Tutorials--Lesson-1-Scene-Graph>ppython Tut-Step-1-Blank-Window.py
DirectStart: Starting the game.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have a brand-new graphics card, that is fully functional afaik
I’ll only be able to tell you if 1.0.5 works later (in an hour or so). I don’t have access to that computer right now…
anyway, I’m on a windows 98 pc now, and although to me this is less urgent, I thought you might want to know:
the path variable is located somewhere else, or it’s not there at all
if you cd to the panda3D/bin directory and run a script from that point (with a relative path ofcourse) the following error pops up:
DirectStart: Starting the game.

1.1.0 is still beta, even though the version numer doesn’t reflect it directly. So yes, unless you intend to use some specific 1.1 functionality, you better stick with 1.0.5 by now.
I guess no one really knows why it’s not working for you–Panda3D 1.1.0 seems to run fine for just about everyone else.
It’s a peculiar failure mode. Maybe there’s some naming conflict with another DLL you’ve already got on your system? Is it possible that you’ve already gone one of the DLL’s that Panda3D installs?
Also, does pview work by itself? And can you pview an egg file successfully?
I just remembered. A couple of days ago I reinstalled the gimp, and there was a DLL conflict with panda3d then, I’ll try removing it, and installing panda1.1 some time. (haven’t got time right now, I’ll probably be able to test tomorrow evening)
I’m not so sure about that. I believe that I’ve renamed most of the panda dll’s. For example, panda doesn’t use “libtiff.dll” any more… it uses “libpandatiff.dll”. There are a few dll’s I couldn’t rename (for example, Cg.dll). But I’m not sure if they’re used by the gimp.
I downloaded the source code for “libtiff”, and modified it so that it builds “libpandatiff” instead. Then, I linked panda with that. I did the same with every library for which I could obtain source.
