    That looks like a build problem because it tries to write file somewhere it should not.

    Did you do that in the Run part only ?

    @SGaist I use laptop and I have two videocards: Intel (native) and Nvidia (external). The error appears only when I run the app with native Intel videocard. If I run it with Nvidia then there is no error. So I think the question is solved. Thank you one more time :)

      @SGaist I'm sorry for disturbing you but don't you know why some of VTK examples work and other doesn't?
      For example I can run ex1(works) and ex2(works) but I can't launch ex3(not_work)
      The output from my app is:
      03:02:26: Strart C:\Users\Tasik\Documents\Qt_prj\build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Release\release\untitled.exe ...
      03:02:26: Application unexpectly stopped.
      03:02:26: The process was forced to stop.
      03:02:26: C:/Users/Tasik/Documents/Qt_prj/build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Release/release/untitled.exe crashed.

        Do you have the same issue in Debug mode ?

          @SGaist yes, the behavior is the same in release and debug mode

            In that case, run your application using the debugger. It will allow you to gather more information on what is going on.

              @SGaist I can't put a "break point" beacause in this case I get the error: "cdb stopped".
              If I just run app in debug mode I get the application output:

              04:05:17: C: \ Users \ Tasik \ Documents \ Qt_prj \ build-VTK-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug \ debug \ VTK.exe starts ...

              and compiler output:

                  @SGaist I don't know exactly but I think it was installed with Visual Studio 2017. Isn'it?

                    No, the debugger in Visual Studio can't be used outside of Visual Studio.
                    You need to install Debugging Tools for Windows/CDB.

                      @jsulm thank you
                      My debugger is in folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe
                      Then I don't know how it was installed. It was already installed by the time when I installed Qt. Should I install some new debugger?
                      By the way in most application I can set a breakpoint and work with debugger. But in this case it doesn't work.

                        I set up CDB path as it said in link text but still doesn't work.
                        Am I right that if my CDB installed properly then it should run my app and if some problem occurs then an error should appear that more detailed describes my problem?

                          Did you check that your debugger is for the right architecture ?

                            @SGaist I think so. There are several of them for different compilators and architectures and I think Qt choses the right one for my x64 application

                                  @SGaist @jsulm I think I have found the reason why I used to not get any meaningful errors. From here I turned off the Windows "Fault Tolerant Heap" and now I get the error:

                                  cannot open C:\Windows\main.obj.5848.31.jom for write
                                  

                                  But I dont have any file in that folder with name "main..."

                                    And you should not. There's no reason for the build system to try to write to that folder. You should do a full clean rebuild.

                                      @SGaist Thank you, I think the problem was solved.
                                      What did I do:
                                      After I rebuild the project I got the error:

                                      ERROR: In D:\Qt\Downloaded\VTK-8.2.0\Rendering\Core\vtkTextMapper.cxx, line 550
                                      vtkOpenGLTextMapper (0000000002D23D40): Could not locate vtkTextRenderer object.
                                      

                                      Here I saw the solution for that problem. Now to run any VTK example I add:

                                      #include <vtkAutoInit.h>
                                      VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL2);
                                      VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingContextOpenGL2); // this is for 2D graphics [link](http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/Error-no-override-found-for-vtkContextDevice2D-td5741533.html)
                                      VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);
                                      VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeType);
                                      

                                      But I'm interested why the error say somethink about D:\Qt\Downloaded\VTK-8.2.0\Rendering\Core\vtkTextMapper.cxx? Here I have only unpacked VTK folder and it is installed in C:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\VTK
                                      Why the error refers to the folder where VTK was simply downloaded?

                                        You should take a look at the code where the message is generated. That might give you some clues.

                                          I have the same problem once again.
                                          After I reinstalled Windows 7 to Windows 10 I can run some simple examples from VTK web-site. But some other examples don't work and I the problem is that I dont get any error message. For example I delete all build folder and run app in debug mode and Qmake compiler output:

                                          03:44:37: The steps for the VTK project are being carried out ...

                                          Then I run debug and I get:

                                          03:48:45: The stages for the VTK project are being executed ...

                                          Everything is well but suddenly I get a window with text "CDB process ended"

                                          If I run in release mode then QMAKE tells me the same jom 1.1.3 - empower your cores and when running the project compiler tells me something similar as in debug mode but application output:

                                          Seems to me that something stops my application... I already turned off Fault Tolerant Heap but that didn't help.
                                          Here is my kit:kit.png
