MDX April 2006 SDK

i've created a DX3D app that works fine on my computer with the SDK installed buf if i try install on another computer i get errors, i've tried on other computers so it's not just mine, also i used the publish wizard and installed on a clean Win2003, it installed .net and dx fine but the app still errors, i also compiled on an x64 Windows XP and still the same error

i'm using Windows 2003 Service Pack1, VS.net 2005 Pro, .net framework 2.0.50727

On the other computer you need to install the DirectX runtime files

Publish wizard/click once etc will not correctly determine all the DX dependencies and will also not correctly install directx (and technically forces you to break the DirectX EULA since it will include the MDX DLLs are part of your install).

If you want to include the DirectX files as part of your installer then you need to include the correct DX cabs and then call dxsetup from your installer see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/Installing_DirectX_with_DirectSetup.asp
