Kit 108.1.0: Enabling omni.anim.navigation.bundle fails to load omni.anim.navigation.core.plugin.dll (WinError 127)

Environment

  • OS: Windows (Japanese locale)

  • Omniverse Kit:

    • kit : 108.1.0+feature.234166.1750604f.gl

    • kernel: 208.3.1+release.10190.394a478b.gl

    • build : 108.1.0+feature.234166.1750604f.gl

  • App: custom Kit app (app version: 0.1.0)

  • Extension cache path example:

    • .../_build/windows-x86_64/release/extscache/...

Goal

I want to use the Navigation Mesh samples from this documentation with Kit 108:
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/extensions/latest/ext_navigation-mesh/samples.html


Problem

When I try to enable omni.anim.navigation.bundle from Extension Manager, the dependent extension omni.anim.navigation.core fails to start because the native plugin DLL cannot be loaded.

Key log excerpt

(note that this may be caused by a dependent library)

Investigation / Notes

  • I confirmed my Kit runtime is 108.1.0 (see environment above), so this does not look like a 108.0 vs 108.1 mismatch.

  • I attempted to load the plugin DLL directly from Python using ctypes.WinDLL(), and it fails with WinError 127, which typically indicates the DLL was found but a required procedure/export was not found (e.g., dependent DLL version mismatch or DLL search path conflict).

ctypes.WinDLL result

OSError: [WinError 127] The specified procedure could not be found.
winerror: 127
