I'm using Monkey X Studio since yesterday and want to "export" the game I've made with it for Windows (glfw). So I built the Game in Release Configuration, took the .exe and the data Folder and created an InnoSetup setup for it. When someone else installed and started the game, the error message "OpenAL32.dll is missing" appeared.
"The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the Application".
Do you have any idea how I can fix this issue and export a setup for windows?

Simply "OpenAL32.dll is missing.
You need to copy this dll to target computer during installation.
This dll may be present in e.g. System folder on your computer but is missing on different computer.
Find the dll and add it to installer (copy to appropriate folder).

I copied 'dbnetlib.dll' in the same directory where my application is located on the target device and the app is not working. Showing the above message.
I have also copied that dll to the windows folder but it is deleted automatically. Again I tried the 'sql.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab' installation but failed.
Can anyone send me the right solution? It will be a great help for me.
Does the DLL work when you put it in Windows (before the reboot clears it, of course)?
If it does then you may need to change your import attributes specifying the full path of the dll or, if your device has permanent registry, you can add your installation folder to the system path by adding it to the "SystemPath"key under HKLM\Loader.
I am trying to use Monogame for the first time.
I found creating a content project is impossible on Visual Studio 2012,
so I would like to know if I can create some .xnb (contents) files from another PC and move it in my PC that Visual Studio 2012 is installed.
This is because I failed to install Windows Phone SDK in my PC for some reason.
My OS was Windows 7 so I could not install Windows Phone SDK.
So, is it possible to create a content project on another PC and move it into my PC? Or, can I copy the .xnb files to my PC?
Thanks in advance for your help.
You can create the xnb files from whichever system you want by using an XNA game project.
The steps to follow would be:
Create a new XNA Game project (it needs to be a game and not a content project).
Add the assets you want to port into the content project of the game.
Compile.
Go to the output folder and copy all the xnb files.
In your monogame project, add the existing xnb files to the project's Content folder.
Change their properties to: "Content" for "Build Action" and "Copy if newer" for output directory.
You can find a tutorial (written by me) explaining exactly how to use sounds and spritefonts in Monogame here. This can be helpful given that these files need to be created from an external project as Monogame was not able to used them without being in xnb format; and was also unable to create this format for itself.
One last thing, it is also possible to install XNA in VS 2012/2013 and Windows 8/8.1 without any problem by using XNA Refresh. This may help you in avoiding the need to use another computer for this process.
So I built a huge website for my company using the AnyCpu option. I didn't think it would matter - I have a 64bit machine with x64 windows, it's getting deployed to a x64 server, and there's no attached dll's, so it should just all be in 64, right?
Well, in the process of trying to implement some security, the company's support told us the application MUST be strictly x64. I figured it was, but to humor them, I went into the configuration manager, and changed all the target cpu, platform etc settings to x64.
Unfortunately now, it breaks when I hit f5 to run it. I've run into this before, I think, and I vaguely remember needing to delete some temp internet files somewhere, but I tried closing VS, deleting the bin folder, deleting the root folder from /framework/tempASPfiles... but I still get the BadImageFormatException - "an attempt was made to load the program with an incorrect format."
What's the best and fastest way to convert an app to x64? and am I right in thinking I need to delete some files somewhere?
I've got 2 projects in my solution.
The one is a small win forms project, and
the other, a InstallShield Limited Edition project.
Everything works fine & installs correctly for the most part. The desktop and start menu shortut's get created also with the correct icon... except that that the target & start in properties are blank... and thus the shortcuts are useless.
Normally target should have the reference to the executable, but it seems to be populated with my project name :/
I'm not too sure how I can go about debugging this? Or what would be causing the problem?
I started going going through the sub steps in the Installer project.
Under the 3rd node - Configure the Target System, there is a Shortcuts/Folders item.
Upon opening you'll see a tree view of where the shortcuts will be created. I selected the desktop shortcut, and noticed that the working directory was not set. I changed it to point to [INSTALLDIR]
This fixed the problem for me
Am trying to Deploy my visual studio 2012 vc++ application through Install Shield wizard.
The error am getting is :
Error 1324. The path .. contains an invalid character
I followed this tutorial and got succeed with a sample application .
http://www.flexerasoftware.com/webdocuments/productdemos/IS2010_VSLE_Demo/IS2010_VSLE_Demo-lite.html
But when i try to deploy my application, the setup file which i created is giving me this error.
Please help me
I've never seen this one before in the wild but it's described at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292582
Basically it sounds like the computer has invalid data in the registry for one of the built in directories that Windows Installer resolves. It's an environmental issue rather then installer logic issue.
I'd have to see the installer log and computer registry to confirm or deny that though.
I had the same problem recently (with Installshield 2015). The problem was, that under Application Data/Files and Folders there was a definition for a folder called .. - so the setup would try to create a folder .. on the target system, which of course doesn't work.
Deleting that folder definition and moving its contained files to the parent folder definition fixed the problem for me.
