Trouble Installing

Postby mmartin68 » Tue May 10, 2011 1:29 am

I just bought the game and when installing I get a message saying "The program can't start because sdl.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". What can I do? I see the sdl.dll in the folder but I would have no idea where to put it.

How do you proceed to run the game ? Did you play with the demo before ?

I just bought the game today and have the same problem. I just unzipped the files to install, the ran the .exe.

I had no problems with the demo version.

It's weird as there's no difference in this regard between demo and full version. Have you installed full version in a new directory (separated from your demo install) ?

I deleted the demo files, and then installed the full version in the same directory. I'll try a different directory. I didn't reboot between deleting the demo and installing the full version.

I just deleted all the files, rebooted, and re-installed, and ran the program from the installed directory. It works.

I created a new shortcut, and ran it from that. It works. Previously I was getting the error when running from the shortcut.

Everything's fine now.
