Failed to load d3dx9_31.dll

But so far, it exists only one version on XNA Framework, and that is 1.0 (the same goes with Game Studio Express).

Now that I think about it, I did upgrade Game Studio Express (for making it run with vista). Maybe Microsoft also upgraded it to compile against the new dll's?

That doesn't sound very good.
Yeah, shame on them for updating DirectX. =P

Anyways, a new update to the DirectX SDK was released this month, so your updated version of XNA Game Studio is probably using that (yes, I know you aren't directly using the DirectX SDK). Although, I believe that update uses d3dx9_32.dll?

It seems that XNA game studio even comes with the redist you would need, in:

Microsoft XNA\XNA Game Studio Express\v1.0\Redist\DX Redist

In that folder (in my install at least) is an OCT2006_d3dx9_31_x86.cab. So, maybe your friends installed something incorrectly, and if they ran DXSTEUP.exe in that folder should give them the needed dll.
