Are you building the Subversion trunk or the 0.17.5 release?

Possibly the runtime is just not finding a DLL it needs. For instance, 
you may need to move the SDL DLL into the same directory as 
sdl-viewer[d].exe (or put it in your PATH).

I am using the trunk.  Before I got to this point I ran the executable
a few times, and each time it would complain about not finding a
specific DLL and I would put that DLL in the same directory as the
executable.  Now that directory looks like this:

\openvrml\ide-projects\Windows\VisualC9_0\bin

libpng13d.dll
openvrmld.dll
opnvrmld.ilk
openvrmld.pdb
openvrml-gld.dll
openvrml-gld.ilk
openvrml-gld.pdb
SDL.dll
sdl-viewerd.exe
sdl-viewerd.ilk
zlib1d.dll


Thanks,

Kris

Assuming you've built against FreeType, libxml2, and iconv as static
libraries, that looks reasonable. I typically build with libpng and zlib
as static libraries as well, FWIW.

The problem may be that it's not finding the XML descriptor files. Try
setting the environment variable OPENVRML_DATADIR to

  path\to\openvrml\data

Under XP I'm getting the error 
"The application failed to initialize property (0xE06D7363)"

Supposedly 0xxE06D7363 means that a VC++ routine is
calling a throw() in a DLL that is not in a try{}.

In one forum, people suggested forcing a debug break
during the loading of individual DLLs, which can be done
by setting a flag using regedit.

One has to find this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\

Then locate some DLL you want to debug and do this: 

"Add a string value called BreakOnDllLoad and set the value to 1."

Just for the record, here's a bit more information about this:

        http://support.microsoft.com/kb/185294

And, yes, the easiest way for this to happen with the current OpenVRML
trunk is for OPENVRML_DATADIR not to be set appropriately.
