[Paraview] Plugins in Windows 3.6.2 binary

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I tried adding the runtime redistributable.  The plugins now load without complaint, but they do not work.  The SLAC tools plugin does not create a toolbar like it is supposed to.  The point sprite plugin does not create the "Point Sprite" representation to the representation combo box.  The VisIt reader plugin allows you to open .silo files, but they always end up with empty data.

Does anyone have an idea why that is?  Could it be using two different sets of MSVC libraries?

The best you can probably do if you're stuck at SP2 is install the runtime redistributable.

Given that, is there some advice you can give for installing the MSVC classes on Windows XP stuck at SP 2?  How do you do that (without installing the entire compiler)?

Actually that might not be a bad idea. We can even make it a option
that the user can uncheck, if he wants. Maybe we should look into that
for 3.8.
