XP pro install problem

Post by unimatrix »

I got it to install one time okay, but I removed the game a few months ago to free up some extra disk space for a project.

Now when I tried to reinstall, I get a number of errors when attempting to install several of the .DLL files. You can click ignore and the installer will continue, but then the game just causes an error and force quits itself when I try to load it.

What was the message that the installer gave you about those dll's as the game does need them :wink: have you tried just the base vegastrike install as the dll's are the same.

Enjoy the Choice :)

I tried to redownload the remake to make sure it just wasn't a bad download. I wasn't able to get all the 5 Dll's, but a major one is:

SDL.dll

Somehow I have a feeling that's a problem.

Bit of an under statement actually :wink: no Simple Device Layer no devices ie screen,keyboard and mouse ouch so like i said what is the err message that you get if we don't know what it doesn't like we can't get around it :wink: if worse case you may already have a version on your drive lots of games use it just coping it to the bin folder of the data tree may solve things :roll:
