I wonder why it works on some but not on others. Could everyone that tried it verify that you have XNA Redistributable 2.0 in your programs list (under add and remove). Also, .NET Framework version 3.5. One of those seems to be causing the problem and I think it's the framework. Jason --- Gamers

Thanks for giving us the change to test this out for you, even if the installer is being a pain! Smile. Just out of curiosity, are you going to try and get the game to work with older systems? Or will we have to have at least XP to run it? I know I'm still running on a fairly old system,

I've updated the setup program. It should be more verbose now. If it didn't work before, try it again now. Hopefully, this will do it. You need to have Windows XP SP2 or later. The installer will notify you if it needs to update the .NET framework. Also, I set up the forum again. If you'd like to

MissWings, Sorry to hear it wouldn't run. Microsoft put a limit on .NET framework 3.0 for Windows XP and higher. My game needs at least version 3.0 because it utilizes the newer voice API that comes with it. Although I don't expect the game to require a lot of processing power, unfortunately it

Hi Jim, Actually, in this respect each client of the game can work independantly from each other. For example if I press the 1 through 0 on my keyboard to see what cards are in my hand Sapi would announce only my cards, in my hand, and not brodcast it across the network to the other players. It

Hi Miss Wings, Unfortunately, with the XNA based games you will have to have Windows XP SP2 or better to run them. Microsoft has dropped .Net support for everything earlier than Windows XP SP2 and XNA was designed with the idea that everyone had at least Windows XP SP2, but is actually better

Hi Jason, As a fellow .NET Framework developer myself I can certainly help you figure out the problems hear. However, it would be helpful to know exactly which language and IDE you used when developing your game. If you are using XNA Runtime 2.0 then you should have .NET 3.5 also installed
