<div>Hi Eric,</div><div><br></div>I believe we stopped shipping prebuilt libraries of VTK with the 5.0 release for reasons unknown to me as it was before my time. I don't know if there is an official announcement to that effect, but I do know that all releases of vtk 5.0x only include vtk.exe for running tcl scripts. If you need the libraries/headers you have to build them yourself.<br>

I have been trying to figure this out (and have tried to find it in this<br>
mailing list), so please excuse this obvious question ...<br>
<br>
Our software is written in c++ Visual Studio 2008 (win32 not managed). I<br>
use vtk 4.2 (which was the current version when I developed the vtk<br>
code). When i install version 4.2 I get the headers and libraries<br>
installed into the following directories:<br>
<br>
C:\Program Files\vtk42\include\vtk<br>
C:\Program Files\vtk42\lib\vtk<br>
<br>
<br>
I am rewriting much of the code and was hoping to migrate to latest vtk<br>
version 5.4<br>
<br>
I grab the win 32 installer from:<br>
<a href="http://www.vtk.org/files/release/5.4/vtk-5.4.2-win32.exe" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/files/release/5.4/vtk-5.4.2-win32.exe</a><br>
<br>
I run the installer and select all components ("Development",<br>
"RuntimeExecutibles", "RuntimeLibraries" )<br>
<br>
but when I go look int the target directory: "C:\Program Files\VTK 5.4"<br>
but there do not seem to be no c header or libs. There seems to be tk<br>
and tcl files but nothing for c development.<br>
<br>
I thought the directory locations may have changed so I searched my<br>
whole drive for "vtkActor" and the only file found was:<br>
C:\Program Files\vtk42\include\vtk\vtkActor.h<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there another 5.4 distribution I need to install to get the c headers?<br>
Do I need to build from source (which seems excessive)?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Eric<br>
