Install the DirectX SDK

I had the wrong version. So now I am having issues in the Linker

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'd3dxof.lib'

even though I have it, I must not be telling the linker somewhere to look in the right places

Maybe you still have the wrong directx sdk. Even if you don't, here's a link for those who do. This is the version that worked for me.

[Timo]

Have you done this?

Once I did everything worked fine for me :3

I got it all fixed, and remembered I didn't have ce on this computer, nor do I have my cd with me. :/

So like, what do I do then? D: I installed the DirectX SDK but then I just kept getting exceptions. Wut teh fook?

[Timo]

I guess you need to compile it yourself D; Get Visual Studio Express 2005 of the microsoft website. Then follow that tutorial I linked to for setting VS up and you should be set.

[FluffyDucky™]

Oh, okay.

Welp.

I tried getting files from Timo. CE starts, and then exceptions before I get to the UI.

So I tried building one myself. It built fine, using the June '08 DX SDK (had it installed when looking to mod a different game vOv), but CE still crashes before getting to the UI.

If I delete d3d9.dll, it starts up just fine.

The executable is version 01.00.08.0616. I was using Visual Studio 2008, but the auto-magical converter says that only the IIS deployment options were removed, and that UAC settings were added.

Halp?
