VS.NET 2002 users: Summer Update solution!

[ThePentiumGuy]

Hey guys,

i know taht theres a huge issue with the summer update, and how it doesnt work on vs.net 2002...etc

 

i found a solution while searching for GameDev:

 

1) MAKE SURE you uninstall the previous version of your SDK, it didnt work for me when i didnt uninstall

edit: oh yeah... after uninstalling, install the Summer Update :p

 

2) Go to the directory where you extracted the SDK Setup files, and then go to: Developer Runtimes | Managed DirectX | Debug (or retail if you want) | and run the short setup file there

 

3) Open Regedit(Start | run | "Regedit")

Navigate to

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AssemblyFolders\

Right clikc the "AssemblyFolders" Icon and select New | Key

name it DirectXAssemblies

 

4) go to the DirectXAssemblies folder and double click the key in there which says "(default)"

and type in the path to your DLL's:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Managed DirectX\v9.00.0900

 

this made the summer update work for me :D

 

Hope that helps,

Pent

These instructions work for the latest summer update (2004) as well.
