<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks ParaView team for your great work.</div>
<div>I however meet a problem after installing ParaView 3.6.1 on a Windows XP service pack 2 computer where I have no administrator rights, while it was not the case with ParaView 3.4.0. The error message tells me that:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"This application has not been able to start because the application configuration is not correct. Reinstalling the application may solve the problem."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course it doesn't solve much... Neither restarting the computer...</div>
<div> Is there a Windows compatibility problem?</div>
<div> On the ParaView wiki, I see that ParaView 3.6.1-win32-x86.exe has indeed been compiled on the platform:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>paraview-3.6.1-win32-x86.exe
<ul>
<li>Built on Windows Vista x64 SP2
<li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition 9.0.30729.1 SP
<li>python 2.5.4
<li>Qt 4.3.5 open source version </li></li></li></li></ul></div>
<div>May it be because the computer I use is not updated to Windows Vista?</div>
<div>And why Vista x64? Is it an error on the wiki?</div>
<div><br>I thank you in advance for your help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div> </div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Folks,<br><br>Kitware, Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Lab are<br>proud to announce the release of ParaView 3.6. The binaries and<br>
sources are available for download from the ParaView website<br>(<a href="http://www.paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.html" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.html</a>). This<br>release includes several new features along with plenty of bug fixes<br>
addressing a multitude of usability and stability issues including<br>those affecting parallel volume rendering. For a more exhaustive list,<br>please refer to <a href="http://paraview.org/Bug/roadmap_page.php" target="_blank">http://paraview.org/Bug/roadmap_page.php</a><br>
<br>Based on user feedback, ParaView's Python API has undergone a major<br>overhaul. The new simplified scripting interface makes it easier to<br>write procedural scripts mimicking the steps users would follow when<br>
using the GUI to perform tasks such as creating sources, applying<br>filters, etc. Details on the new scripting API can be found on the<br>Paraview Wiki.<br><br>We have been experimenting with adding support for<br>additional file formats such as CGNS, Silo, Tecplot using VisIt<br>
plugins. Since this is an experimental feature, only the Linux<br>binaries distributed from our website support these new file formats.<br><br>ParaView now natively supports tabular data-structures thus improving<br>support for CSV files including importing CSV files as point-sets or<br>
structured grids. We have completely redesigned the charting/plotting<br>components with several performance fixes as well as usability<br>improvements. It is possible to plot arrays from arbitrary datasets<br>directly using Plot Data filter. Upon hovering over the plots tooltips<br>
are shown which detail the plotted values.<br><br>In an effort to better support animations involving the camera, we<br>have added support for specifying camera movements along splines or<br>for orbiting around objects in space. This version has many GUI<br>
usability improvements including, but definitely not limited to:<br>• Color palettes which make it easier to switch between color schemes<br>that are suitable for printing and for screen.<br>• Improved support for temporal readers and filters.<br>
• Axes annotations and scalar bar for 2D render view.<br>• Zooming to selected region in 3D view.<br>• Quick launch for creating sources and filters using Ctrl+Space or Alt+Space.<br><br>Apart from these enhancements, ParaView includes a pre-alpha release of<br>
OverView, an application developed using the ParaView application<br>framework. OverView is a generalization of the ParaView scientific<br>visualization application designed to support the ingestion,<br>processing and display of informatics data. The ParaView client-server<br>
architecture provides a mature framework for performing scalable<br>analysis on distributed memory platforms, and OverView uses these<br>capabilities to analyze informatics problems that are too large for<br>individual workstations. This application still contains many<br>
experimental features and is not yet documented, but feel free to try<br>it out and report bugs and feature requests.<br><br>StreamingParaView, another application developed using the ParaView<br>application framework. StreamingParaView processes structured<br>
datasets in a piecewise fashion, on one or many processors. Because<br>the entire dataset is never loaded into memory at once,<br>StreamingParaView makes it possible to visualize large datasets on<br>machines that have insufficient RAM to do so otherwise. Piece culling,<br>
reordering and caching preserve ParaView's normally high interactivity<br>while streaming. This application still contains many experimental<br>features and is not yet documented, but we encourage users to try it<br>out and report bugs and feature requests.<br>
<br>Currently, both OverView and StreamingParaView are available through<br>source alone.<br><br>Bugs, feature requests and any questions or issues can be posted to<br>the ParaView Mailing List at <a href="mailto:paraview@paraview.org" target="_blank">paraview@paraview.org</a>.<br>
<br>As always, we rely on your feedback to make ParaView better and<br>powerful. We are experimenting with a new user-feedback mechanism.<br>Please use <a href="http://paraview.uservoice.com/" target="_blank">http://paraview.uservoice.com/</a> or click<br>
