Rex:

The specification of VolView_BINARY_DIR is incorrect. This is supposed to
refer to the binary directory where VolView.exe is present. This is why you
get an error from the PostBuild copy process. There is no "Plugins"
directory in InsightApplications. The PostBuild Copy is meant to copy the
DLL for you to VolV I would suggest that you simply wipe this cache entry
out. (You can do that by rightclicking on this cache entry and selecting
Delete).

In any case, VolView should've been able to load the DLL if you dropped it
into its Plugins folder. Could you please verify if you dropped it in the
right place as shown below.

VolView.exe
  |
  ---- Plugins/
             |
             ----- vvITKSigmod.dll (should be dropped here).
