This error seems more with directx, although someone may know how to solve this problem.

The error message is

This application has failed to start because d3dx9_31.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The problem compiles ok in visual studio, the pc without darksdk does have directx on it.

Am i missing something obvious?

This M$ thread may offer more information regarding this situation, but are you distributing the debug version of your application?

You may need to upgrade your DXSDK version on your development machine and rebuild it, but I'm not entirely sure why this is manifesting itself on an end user's PC.

Also, is this a DarkGDK.NET application or still using the C++ DGDK?

make sure its the latest version of DX by manually going to the dx site and installing the latest version of the runtimes (AUG 2006). Windows updates wont do this for you automatically.



Its 9/11 - but its FAKE 9/11 Ts=SQRT(Df/16)

What I have to do, is make sure I choose the option to install the Dx runtime redist files when I install my Directx SDK's. This way I have the exact runtime I need to distro with my apps already loaded on my computer.

Like right now, I have October's SDK installed and my d3dx9_31.dll is time stamped Oct 21. I had to give out the oct runtime last week so I guy could run one of my DGDK mock up apps. We were not sure if he had april's or august's dx sdk. Either way, he got the dx9 error message, and it went away after installing the newer runtime.
