Hi Kuvvosh and all, I was just discussing this off list with someone else and the reason the DirectX and .NET Frameworks were not installed with my games is it will add around 110 MB to every game install. A game like Montezuma's Return, which is 29 MB, would instantly become a 139 MB download. That uses more server drive space, more bandwidth, and would be difficult for those on dialup to download. I guess what gets me about this entire thing is including it with every game would be unnecessary if people would just read the documentation first That is all that is required.. Though, I guess developers have to make up for others inability to do the obvious.
