There are potentially hundreds of reasons for that sort of error! [wink]

1. What does your application do?
- Are you using any advanced hardware features (such as shaders) that might not exist on the target machine

2. Is the runtime installed and up-to-date?

We really need more details before we can give you a meaningful/helpful answer!

Cheers,

the application should just display a blank screen. but instead it gives the error as above.

i am not using shaders or anything its just a simple app.

i think its not able to load mesh from the file.but i have given the correct path.

and the runtime is installed.
