Hello, I am unable to download these (getting a 404). Is something amiss?

The problem should be fixed now - please try again.

Hello,
In the download center the VS2017 x64 binaries are provided but the installer exe is called opencascade-7.3.0-vc14-64.exe
But "vc14" refers to VS2015 if I'm right. The internal version number for VS2017 is vc15.x.
So what is the VS version used for the prebuilt opencascade 7.3.0 binaries ? VS2015 or VS2017 ?
Tue, 09/04/2018 - 16:49
Compiler toolset coming with VS2017 is identified as vc141 not vc15, which means that it produces binaries compatible with vc14 coming with VS2015.
Pre-built binaries are fine for testing and learning OCCT, but for production it is always better building it yourself
(so that you will be able also answering questions like which VS update within particular version of Visual Studio has been used, and which one has broken everything previously working fine).

Hello,
Using the node-occ wrapper for Open Cascade I noticed that with the same complex geometries I have everything working properly with occt 7.1.0.
Using version occt 7.3.0. I get a 'Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)' on node (all version) Windows and the correspond segmentation fault with core dump (I can provide you the dumped cores for more details).
Nothing else changed, So I suppose something is broken from 7.1.0 to 7.3.0 ?
Any information would be nice.
Regards,

To report an issue, you should provide more information than "with the same complex geometries" which nobodies here aware of.
Please prepare a test scenario (steps to reproduce) with shared geometry data (if needed).
Issues should be reported on bugtracker to pay attention to real developers of OCCT:
https://dev.opencascade.org/index.php?q=home/get_involved
Dump core is not very helpful without reproducing scenario, and especially if OCCT wasn't built with Debug information.
In case of doubt that this is actually an OCCT issue, or if you have no idea how to reproduce issue without node-occ wrapper - consider reporting the issues to node-occ wrapper developers.

Ok thanks; I have created an issue there and forwarded an OCCT 7.2.0 branch of the Node JS wrapper repository.
I can't share the 3d model.
If the dump with OCCT built in Debug Mode does not provide useful information I will provide a free 3D Model and give the steps to reproduce the scenario that crashes the node JS wrapper.
Regards,
