Hi, Diedel.
Your website only has the demo for d/l.
Plus now I'm getting an error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This application has failed to start because MFC71.DLL was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a clean install? I tryed replacing the dle-xp.exe file with an older version, but still get the same error.

I have added mfc71.dll to the dle-xp zip archive and changed the d/l link on the DLE-XP main page. There is a proper link in the links page, too.

I will probably return to compiling DLE-XP with MSVC 6 instead of MSVC .NET. I didn't need all these extra DLLs with MSVC 6, and MSVC .NET makes D2X-W32 crash on certain machines, so it might be that it makes DLE-XP instable as well.

I even had to get back to MSVC 6 at work because some software I make didn't run on all our machines here anymore when compiled with MSVC .NET. Sheesh.

I wonder whether installing the .NET framework mentioned on the Windows Update site would fix the problem...

Though I haven't read up on .NET thing, I would have thought that you wouldn't need the .NET framework unless you were actually using it. As far as I can tell, all Diedel did was use VC++ .NET

Yes, I was simply using MSVC .NET, and somehow it wants its runtime libs around, which I did not notice for MSVC 6 (maybe everybody has the MSVC 6 runtime libs though cause they're pretty old).

I suspect that'll be the case, especially in Windows XP.

Don't ask me, I have Visual Studio 6, and Visual Studio Express Beta installed.
