"Invalid Profile Type" error

Hi,

When I run the Collada RT Viewer downloaded from Khrono’s group I get an error popped up that says “Invalid Profile Type”. It does not seem to affect the viewing though… I wonder if anyone else had seen this problem before. Also, when I try to run it on another computer, the error dopes not appear.

Thanks

Hi,

If you click on
“COLLADA 1.4.1 Document Object Model (DOM) (also includes RT, FX, and Refinery tools)”

it should direct you to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/collada-dom

I would like to make sure if you are using
COLLADA_1.4.1_DOM_1.2.0.zip
from SourceForge.

I would like to know what OS are you using.

Thanks,
Herbert

I downloaded the installer “COLLADA_DOM_FX_RT_1.2.0_VC7.exe”. I am running Windows XP professional. Also, the error pops up even if I don’t pass in any argument to the executable. The error pops up, I click ok, and then the program exits because no input file is found.

“Invalid Profile Type” message is displayed if
cgGLGetLatestProfile(CG_GL_VERTEX);
or
cgGLGetLatestProfile(CG_GL_FRAGMENT);
returns CG_PROFILE_UNKNOWN

That means cg will not work properly.
However, you can still render models without cg.

There might be multiple reasons for this to happened.
What video card are you using?

Thanks,
Herbert

Hi Herbert,

It is a Radeon 7000 series. The graphics card might be a possible cause of this error, since the other computer that I ran on does have a different graphics card.

Thanks for your help,

Lawrence

actually… after second thought, I guess the graphic card is so old that it isn’t even close to be able to support cg.
