Hey, I have just finished my C++/Opengl game and I am working on an installer. It installs everything just fine, and the .exe runs well. When I click the desktop link or the one in the start menu, I get a failed initialization, meaning it can't find textures. Again, the exe itself runs if I run it from windows explorer. Here's the compiler script:

bumping to active topics. Would like to get this game finalized and start selling.

I may be wrong but I think you have to set the 'Start In' property of the shortcuts to the directory where your game was installed.

I'm not sure how to do it in the script there though.

Thanks a ton! I tried this out with just the shortcut and found it works with that set. I then did some intense googling and found a solution. I did it and it didn't work :O I looked, and I had only done it for the quicklaunch, not the shortcut. added it into the shortcut code and it worked! here's the final code if anyone ever comes by this in search ;)
