Okay, after quite a marathon in trying out different things, I was able to fix it. The underlying problem of a 0x0000007b error seems to be an unmet dll dependency, i.e., the application can not find the runtime-library it needs during startup. It doesn't say which libraries can not be found though.

Using the program DependencyWalker, I was able to trace it down to two problems: first, the Qt5 DLLs were needed - all I had installed was Qt4 though, and secondly, there was a 32bit Version of a DLL in my System32 folder. So I installed Qt5 and replaced the 32bit version of the dll with a 64bit one.

...and it finally worked, yay :).

Hello everyone,

I just built and tried to run the Mesh_3 demo executabke, but all I get is a popup saying "This application can not be started (0xc0000007b)". I have no idea what to do with this error, it's not exactly helpful. Other CGAL demos and applications work fine.

Any ideas what to do? Thanks alot in advance!
Florian
