Hi Paul, Well, thats kind of comparing apples and oranges here. Entombed requires a lot of .NET dependencies like the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft XNA, Microsoft SQL, etc which if the installer doesn't handle them correctly can be a mess to track down. My games and my new engine only uses free and open source libraries that can be simply dropped in the games root directory and it will work with or without them being installed in the Windows system folders. It was designed this way so that the games would be portible and cross-platform which means I shouldn't have any of the grief developers like Jason had with Entombed.
Cheers!
