Hi Thomas,

I don't know if it's quite the same, but when the most recent version of
entombed was released there was an issue with the installer  where by  it
downloaded the SQL, but then the user needed to go in and manually install
the file.

There were from memory absolutely loads of people that couldn't get entombed
to work   when this new installer came out and the mailing list was full of
people trying to get the game to run. the issue still comes up from time to
time on the mailing list from new players who can't get it to run.  Although
that being said I don't hink that there is a read me document that explains
how to do it  anywhere in the installer  either which might be more of the
reason that people couldn't get it to work.

Hope that helps 

Paul 


but then you that)

Hi Trouble,

That's precisely my concern. Newbies are, well, newbies and they are bound
to make newbie mistakes that may cause problems running my games. I could
easily see someone writing me saying they got such and such an error running
my games, I ask them if they installed SDL, and they say no because they
didn't know how to. Things like this can easily be resolved by a installer
using Inno Setup etc.

The only thing is if I do all that then I'm going to have to add platform
specific environment variables to save games etc because each and every
platform is different. I didn't want to deal with all that BS, but you are
probably right it would be worth doing after the game is out of beta stage.

Cheers!
