Paraview connector 5.12 doesn't work with Kit 109 Composer application

Omniverse Deprecated Apps and Extensions Connectors
1

I used Launcher Cleaner to remove the depreciated Launcher and apps.

I created a Kit 109 application using the composer template.

I installed Paraview 5.12. I installed the 5.12 Paraview connector application.

Paraview connect can launch my custom app.

When I load data into Paraview, Paraview crashes.

Apparently, omniclient.dll and other Omniverse runtime content is not installed and causes the crash. What can I do to get the connector working?

See the Paraview 12 connector crashes with Paraview 12 discussion of more details.
After a lot of research any Kit SDK 109 app make from the github templates, does not install an omniverse application. It generates a portable app that is contained in the application folder and does not install the Omniverse runtime. Because plugins like Paraview connect look for an install Omniverse app, the connector will crash Paraview with the error about not finding an installed Omniverse application.

I assume all connectors fail when used with a Kit app built from the github repository.

I am trying to find a simple solution.

For Paraview specifically we have open sourced a small github code sample that allows you to just export out as USD. Please use that until such time as ParaView implements their own.

Hi Brad,

I’ve updated the source code for PV 6.0 in the mentioned repo, but regretfully the release of the corresponding binaries have stalled. Please contact me directly for the Kit 109 issues, I wasn’t aware that something had changed between those releases, I’ll look into it.

Cheers,

Kees
