Hello everyone! Sorry if this is a stupid question but when I compile a DirectX game/application I made on my computer, I can't use the executable on another computer. The other computers all have DirectX9.0c installed and all have the same operating system (XP-Pro) as mine. Is there anything I'm missing or doing wrong perhaps? Thanks in advance, ~J

If you are using Visual C++ try checking here.

I had this same problem and this post helped me fix it.

If you've made a DirectX app with Visual Studio you'll need

a) make sure the DirectX redistributable is installed (you can find it in your SDK install directory in the "Redist" folder. You only need to include the .CAB files for the version of the SDK you're using)

b) make sure the Visual C++ Redistributable is installed for the version of Visual Studio you're using. There's one for 2005, one for 2005 with SP1, one for 2008, and another for 2008 SP1.

Typically you'll include both in an installer that copies over your game folders, then launches the redistributables.
