Error when running pre-built Windows executable

[rserban]

I downloaded the pre-built Windows binaries for v0.41.0. urdef-viz.exe works fine with the sample.urdf provided. However, running it with any URDF input file that uses meshes (STL), I get the following error:

thread 'main' panicked at 'rospack find failed: Error { kind: NotFound, message: "program not found" }', C:\Users\runneradmin\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\urdf-rs-0.6.7\src\utils.rs:44:10
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Setting RUST_BACKTRACE to full gives the following:

thread 'main' panicked at 'rospack find failed: Error { kind: NotFound, message: "program not found" }', C:\Users\runneradmin\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\urdf-rs-0.6.7\src\utils.rs:44:10

What am I missing? Thanks.

Works fine if geometry is provided as Wavefront OBJ files

Could you tell us what is your path of mesh file? For example, filename ="./aaa/bbb.stl" or filename="package://aaa/bbb.stl" and so on.

[rserban]

Sorry for the delay (GitHub email notifications were in the Junk folder). The URDF file specifies mesh filenames using the 2nd version above (filename="package://aaa/bbb.stl).

[rserban]

I tested a file that uses paths to the mesh files in the 1st form above (filename ="./aaa/bbb.stl) and that worked fine.
