HiJason, Back when I initially released the .NET Framework version of Montezuma's Revenge I encountered exactly the same issues you did. The Versions of .NET, DirectX, and Sapi I was using were a lot newer than those generally installed by my user base on their system and In many cases I was using newer stuff than was in the Windows Update service. I found the best thing to do was to download all the upgrades needed to get their system to run my games and set up a requirements page where they could get a compatible build of .NET, DirectX, and anything else they might need to make their system run my stuff. If I waited on Microsoft to update their update service to keep up with my developments I would be waiting quite a while. With XNA for XP and Vista users it is pretty much an optional upgrade and I doubt most users have it installed yet. However, it is my understanding that it will become a core package forWindows 7 which doesn't do you a lot of good since that is still two years away. Anyway, most of the blind gamers out here are still running XP with a small number of them moving to Vista. Your best option is to get the runtimes and put them on your web site so you are certain they get the right packages installed.
