Compile the same way as normal (F5 for Debug, and Ctrl+F5 to run without debugging). Then go here to get the executable:

...\<Project Name>\<Project Name>\bin\Release

Copy it to a new folder and don't forget to copy your media into that folder also, because you need the media (if you used any).

Btw, don't double post threads. You made one exactly like this 13 hours before you made this one. http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=146998&b=22

#ifdef _DEBUG

I'm having the same issue(s).

I am able to run it fine on my computer, the release version. However when I include everything and send it to a friend, there is usually 1 of 2 errors.

1. He/She needs a DirectX file (However they have the latest DirectX version installed.) Some dx3d_95 file I think.

2. Upon starting it says there is an error in the program and to restart.

I've even sent them the sample 3d project, and they recieve the same errors. Is there something I'm doing wrong when compiling? Linking resources? =s Help, please.

DGDK doesn't rely on the latest version of DirectX. I depends on the August 2007 version of it. Either it needs to be installed or the user needs the redistributable file.
