Hi can anyone help me I'm in the later stages of completing a game made for www.remakes.org remakes competition. The game works fine on my machine but as soon as I try to run it on any other machine I get an error. "Common Runtime - Application has generated an exception that could not be Handled" I've ensured that I've installed the dotnet runtime and directX on the other machines, but as the message is so vague and it runs ok on my machine I have no idea why I'm having trouble. Yours Nick James

If you're using Visual Studio, select the reference in the solution explorer and set the "copy local" property to "true".

Cheers mykonian How would I do that?? I'm ok with the language syntax but I'm not too clever with all the ins and outs of dll's etc.??

Try including the references locally. I think the problem occurs when the program tries to find the dll located where you installed the SDK instead of where it really is.
