Hi there TGC community

Can anyone out there help me, please?

I need to get a standalone .exe file created in 3DGM to work in Vista.

Just a short history to what i have done...

I have used the updates to get 3DGM to work as a 'development' software tool in Vista. It works 100% fine. All of the test games work (from within the 3DGM), but when i save as a standalone .exe file (which it does ok) - i navigate to the directory and double click the .exe to play 'my' game.

Here (when using Vista) it bugs out (some of you might have seen my thread on the bug report forum) with RUNTIME ERROR 136 (and i also get runtime error 9 after a while too).

I've tried right clicking as running as administrator - and that doesn't work, i've copied the .exe to another part of my machine and double clicking and that does the same thing too.

If you have this software - can i ask anyone out there if they can get it to run a standalone exe file under Vista.

Sadly the support team at TGC have been unable to help here (yet).

I know 3DGM is loathed amongst the TGC forum community, so please bear with this plea for help.

Many thanks

- Vista!

Hi bmaczero,

Thanks for your reply, but it isn't the dll/compatibility issue.

I can run 3DGM on vista no problem. I can even test a game (from within 3DGM) and it works 100%. But when i create an exe standanlone file and run it OUTSIDE of the 3DGM tool, i get runtime errors (mostly 136, but occasionally No.9).

I have the dll nicely in my system 32 folder and as a belt and braces exercise, i have even had it in the game folder. I've also tweaked the .ini file as one of the suggestions from tgc's support, but that doesn't help either. Tgc also suggested running as administrator, but that doesn't work.

I've also tried to run the standalone game exe from different macjines running vista, but they all do the same thing (runtime error).

So, i was wondering if anyone had a standalone game made with 3DGM that they could run in Vista (and i specifically mean the .exe you can create and 'distribute freely', not the 3GDM software tool).

Thanks
