If I test some of my project .exes on a comp without the sdk. I get a messagebox telling me something like this: "d3dx9_26.dll missing". How do I get the projects (.exes) to work on other comps? Something I got to change in the properties? Or is it something else? Thanks in advance, IlyaZ

Simply provide the "d3dx9_26.dll" with your exectuable :-).

I had the same problem before... Install DirectX redist from your SDK.. or put d3dx9_26.dll in application path.

It's illegal to redistribute the d3dx9_26.dll with your program as per the DirectX EULA. You must provide a link to the DirectX update site. Besides, it's not asking too much of the people who download it - if they already have DX9, the update to June 2005 isn't that big.

Yeeees but 4 or 5 months ago I didn't have the internet on my computer (it was on another) and I'm sure that most users would sadly just get stuck, complain and demand their money back if my game did that :(

The current sticky in this forum might also be of particular interest here: DirectX Web Installer + D3DX Installer + Game Installer Here [smile]
