MantidNexus library linking to OpenGENIE's DLLs - causes failure

Reported by: Michael Whitty Owned by: Peter Peterson
Priority: major Milestone: Release 2.5
Component: Mantid Keywords:
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Tester: Martyn Gigg

Description

Since changeset [9184] (ticket #2359), the version of our HDF5DLL.dll on Windows has changed.

This causes a problem on machines that have OpenGENIE installed, as Windows will load the DLL from the OpenGENIE %PATH%. This means that the MantidNexus.dll fails to load, and so all algorithms contained within are unusable.

Removing the opengenie/system directory from the path fixes this. However, there is an expectation that users should be able to run the two systems side-by-side, especially when they're checking how well Mantid compares.

Verified a stale ticket. It's not actually a problem now that NeXus is statically linked to HDF5.
