C++ Programmers : Element Not Found problem resolved.

[SylvainTV]

Hello, you were a lot of persons who couldn't compile tutorials and projects with c++ and tv6.0, because the error Element Not found, occured.

Basically the problem is that the DirectX VB Dll has been changed between DX9.0 and DX9.0b (for no reason I guess by microsoft). This changes resulted in a GUID change for this dxvb8.dll, this means that when VC++ tried to import the dll, it couldn't find the corresponding guids in the registry (especially after a format like two persons did yesterday and got the same error).

So the way to fix that is actually to recompile the TV VB dll with DX9.0b, I did it and retested here.

If you absolutely need this dll for dx9.0b before the patch that should happen in 1 or 2 weeks, then drop me a message to sylvain@truevision3d.com

Or, alternately, download the unoffical TV Patch at:

I'm still having problems even with the unofficial TV patch. Using VC++ Tutorial 1 as an example, it will now compile without errors, but it does not link correctly. I now get two errors:

LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Tutorial 1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

When I use the /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC under Project Settings>Link, I get these errors:

LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Tutorial 1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Is anyone else getting these errors? Am I doing something wrong?

[Javin]

I'm by no means an expert in C++, but the only thing I might suggest is to make sure you registered the TrueVision3D.dll after replacing it with the "patch."

Thanks for the info Javin, but after re-registering truevision3d.dll I'm still getting the same error as above:

Linking...
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Tutorial 1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.  :cry:

It looks like you specified a Console app instead of a Windowed app when you created your project. Console apps require main(), while Windowed apps require WinMain().

[gameboy]

Thanks DaveHunt. I created a new project and specified it as a Win32 app, then added Tutorial 1.cpp and made the changes described above, and it compiled and ran.  :mrgreen:

I run in Visual C++.NET ,DirectX9.0b
what is the problem

[Project_Man]

c:\TV3DSDK\VC++6\tv3dcpp.h(154) : warning C4278: 'LoadCursor': identifier in type library 'C:\TV3DSDK\Bin\truevision3d.dll' is already a macro; use the 'rename' qualifier

This is a Main Problem

This wrapper isn't compatible with .NET, and probably won't be, due to some DLL import bugs in VC.NET. This will be changed in the version 6.5 tho, when the linkage will be as Win32 functions and not COM anymore for c++ users.

Sorry about this inconvenience.

Is TrueVision3D SDK 6.1b support for Visual C++.NET & DirectX 9.0b?

[Shadow_Wolf]

I am new to TrueVision3D (just downloaded it lastnight) and I'm getting this error when trying to compile the MSVC++ tutorial1. Can anyone shed some light on how I might fix this.

Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed.

[Shadow_Wolf]

Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed.

Do you mean the lastest version of the DirectX SDK, or just of the DirectX runtimes. I have the DirectX9.0b runtimes installed, but only the DirectX7 SDK...

[Arli]

Yes you need the SDK aswell.

[Shadow_Wolf]

Thanks for getting that cleared up Arli. Guess it's time to start downloading the SDK, going to take forever on my 56k though :roll:

Hello, you were a lot of persons who couldn't compile tutorials and projects with c++ and tv6.0, because the error Element Not found, occured.

Basically the problem is that the DirectX VB Dll has been changed between DX9.0 and DX9.0b (for no reason I guess by microsoft). This changes resulted in a GUID change for this dxvb8.dll, this means that when VC++ tried to import the dll, it couldn't find the corresponding guids in the registry (especially after a format like two persons did yesterday and got the same error).

So the way to fix that is actually to recompile the TV VB dll with DX9.0b, I did it and retested here.

If you absolutely need this dll for dx9.0b before the patch that should happen in 1 or 2 weeks, then drop me a message to sylvain@truevision3d.com

My boy Sylvain didn't give me any credit on helping him find the reason behind this problem.  

[MadProgrammer]

Well all these answer seem fine to me, just one thing, did you move the tv3dcpp.h to your src dir or your VC++ include dir? Cuz if you did then you need to change #import "..\Bin\truevision3d.dll" to #import "C:\TV3DSDK\Bin\Truevision3D.dll" or whatever your install path is.
