DX Program doesn't work without SDK
Author
For some reason my programs don''t work without the SDK installed. Even after they have already been compiled. I tried uninstalling the sdk and it wouldn''t run, but as soon as i reinstalled it, the program worked fine. I have found the problem to be with creating the Main D3D8 object. It jsut won''t do it.
Any help would be appreciated

I have tried it on 3 computers. One Win2000 with DX8.0 SDK installed, one with Win2000 W DX 8.0 but no SDK, and the last with WINXP and DX 8.0 SDK. In runs on the two with the SDK. On the WINXP if i uninstall the sdk then run the program it crashes, but as soon as i reinstall it the program works fine.
it may be how you have linked to the .lib files. If you have a static link to the DX .lib files in the SDK directory then you could have problems.
I am not using any libraries. I locate the address in the .Dll''s using LoadLibraryA and GetFunctionAddress.
If you are compiling in debug mode, your programs will not run without the debug libaries. In visual C++ go Build->Configuarations and make sure Win 32 Release is selected and recompile.
