Re: [Emacs-vr-mode-users] Couldn't create DgnEngineControl objext

[Patrik J. <pa...@uc...>]

Hi Bob,
This error has been known to pop up every now and then. You are right 
that it's not connected to emacs, it's a vr.exe problem. The problem has 
not been reproducible, I saw it once myself but reinstalling DNS and 
rerunning dnsrdk fixed it. I just tried running dnsrdk on my XP Pro 
machine, and I got a dialog telling me to reboot my computer when it had 
finished. If you're not seeing that  it's possible that it's not working 
right. I have no reports of VR Mode either working or failing under DNS 
8, so I guess it's also not entirely impossible version 8 has broken 
something. (I'm running 6.1 since that's the last version that works 
correctly with my X windows.)

sorry I don't have more info.  I don't suppose you have a DNS <8 you can 
try with?

Reports of running VR Mode with DNS 8 (failure or success) from other 
users would be interesting.
