How to run a game on a computer without the TV3D installed?

[nord666]

Hi,

Yesterday, i made a Snake game in VB.net and i sent it to my friend. When he tried running my game, he got an error. After, i uninstalled TV3D on my computer and i got the same error. Then, i reinstalled TV3D and it worked. So, how can my friend run my game without installing TV3D?

Thanks

if it's made in tv3d... not

so, to be able to run my game, the user needs TV3D installed?

[ZaPPZion]

ahh i understand the problem
you dont need to install tv3d, you need to send the .dll file with it, and install the .dll file. So it's not actually haveing tv3d installed if you mean the tv3d sdk, but you do need to install the tv3d dll file.

where and how i install it? i copy it?

[ZaPPZion]

yea, and
"regsvr32 /s C:\windows\system\yourdll.dll"
installs it

ok. do i copy truevision3d.dll into system or system32?

Thank you sooooo much!!!

oops indeed, the system32 folder ofcourse, the "normal" system folder is not to be messed with (as far as i know)

hi, my one of friends says your question need some files. truevision3d.dll , tvmedia.dll and tvutil63.dll (tvutil62.dll),put them into your game dir, then write 2 batch files to register. they are truevision3d.dll and tvmedia.dll.
