Problems In Simple Simulated Robot Tutorial

Question

Hi,I am using MRDS4.I have some problems when I study Simple Simulated Robot Tutorial.

First,I can't find the c# file there-

Samples\SimulationTutorials\Beginner\Simple Simulated Robot.

Then I work from the simulation empty project you created in the previous tutorial.When I select "File" -> "Open Manifest".

When I open the EntityUI manifest as the tutorial says,I get the error “Only one instance of the engine is allowed per DSS node” and the simulation window continues black.

I have the same problem in the Simulated Apartment Scene Tutorial when I add the robot base as I did in the Simple Simulated Robot tutorial.

But I just tried running the sample from the DSS command prompt:

dsshost32.exe /p:50000 /m:"samples\config\EntityUI.manifest.xml" It works well.

I don't know why?What should I do in the tutorial?

Thanks!!

Firstly, that sample seems to have a mistake in the path given (as you noticed). The project is "Simple Simulated Robot", but the containing directory is actually "Simple Robot With Drive".

Secondly, I believe the best way to open the EntityUI.manifest.xml would be either from within DssMe or from the command line (as you have), rather than running the empty project and opening from within sim. This way you should get the WinForm and be able to move on with Add Default Scene, etc.

Here's a past thread on this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/89f7cb2b-2dbc-4ef9-9562-98b622e66474/beginner-simulation-tutorial-errors

Hope this helps!
