It happened upon installation. Anybody got a work-around?

Pulled this up from a google search

Go to the Run item on the Start menum, and type:

regsvr32 <path & filename of dll or ocx>

If this works I'm not sure if you have to register every time you boot up or not.

Same happened here. I installed it on my Vista Home Premium laptop, and all went well and all the samples run fine. But when I installed the exact same downloaded file of dgdk.net, on my desktop Vista Home Premium, I get the DGDK.dll failed to register, and of course none of the samples will run from VS2008.

Its odd. I even tried running regsvr32 manually for the DGDK.dll, and would get an error of module not found (and the modules name is just a "." period.

Very strange.

The only real difference between the laptop and the desktop, is the desktophas a NVidia Card (6600GT AGP), and the laptop has an ATI X1400. Both have 2 gigs of ram and dual core 1.8ghz Intel processors. Both are running AVG Free, and both user accounts are "admin" enabled.

Did you search the disk for the existence of the .DLL file in question?

I solved my error on this front... The library was seeking out a certain DirectX DLL, which it failed to find because I hadn't installed the latest version yet. Oh, how I hate reformatting, there's always something you forget to do.

I've only just seen this post, but yes, DirectX is a prerequisite. I'm supprised that the installer did not ask you if you wanted to install DirectX though. I had thought that this was sorted.

Anyway, glad to hear you're up and running again.

Paul.

Yes installing November2008 DX , then installing DGDK.net did the trick.

Thanks!
