Hi,

I downloaded the above SDK. I am trying to run the example applications on Windows 7 using Visual Studio Express 2015 (I have also tried VS2013). I get the follow error when trying to run any of the examples. The callstack when the error occurs is;

OGLESIntroducingPVRApi.exe!pvr::system::PlatformContext::makeCurrent() Line 791 C++  
OGLESIntroducingPVRApi.exe!pvr::system::StateMachine::executeOnce() Line 360 C++  
OGLESIntroducingPVRApi.exe!pvr::system::StateMachine::execute() Line 263 C++  
OGLESIntroducingPVRApi.exe!WinMain(HINSTANCE\_\_ \* hInstance, HINSTANCE\_\_ \* \_\_formal, char \* lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) Line 42 C++

The error occurs during the call to egl::MakeCurrent()

Hi D

Does the first example 01\_HelloAPI also crash? The stack trace for that one should be different because it doesn’t use our framework.

Do the pre-built binaries also crash for you or is it only when you when you build them with VS?
