Publishing/Exporting

Firstly,

Hello all

Found this little gem of a project from the disgruntled Adobe Director crowd (After getting the business from them in regards to a major update). I found myself looking for a handy prototyping tool and landed here!

So - I put together a little test project after only a few hours of tinkering (I'm impressed already ) however the folk that encounter that DirectX august 08 issue are redirected to a questionable M$ site with a big list of nothing obvious to click on. I tried exporting with "Create Installer" checked but it didn't seem to do anything - should I just package DXWebsetup in a zip with a readme or have I missed somethin about the Installer export thing?

Thanks

right now i don't think it exports the correct dx update (i could be wrong). if anything, have the user install construct to get the dx update required.

Mmm; I mean Create Installer literally generates no output at all; it looks like it exports but then no EXE in the directory so I have no way to know if its the right DX update

*edit*

Using latest stable 0.98 release; not .99#

Inside the Construct folder there's a file called dxwebsetup.exe, if all else fails you can include that.

Got that one covered Just curious if there was a pipeline already in place.

Sadly I lost the installer source code so I'd have to rewrite it to get that feature up and running. Until then yes, just dxwebsetup with your game is enough. We use Inno setup for the main installer, which handles distribution very well.

It doesn't export any DirectX update.

You can just put d3dx9_39.dll in the same folder as the EXE and it should work without any updates - however, if you use XAudio2, you need other DirectX files, so go for the installer/dxwebsetup thing.

FYI the error message directs the user to this page, where the very first thing listed is what they need to install.

The installer did export a direct-x update, fwiw.

Hi, I'm using construct classic r1.2. When I goto export and installer nothing happens. it seems to export but then theres no installer exe in the directory I chose. What is needed for the installer export to work? am I missing a plugin or something?

Thanks in advance
