Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA and Vista 64 eddition
Hello everyone,
I've spent the passed couple of days trying to track down why Mysteries of
the Ancients is crashing on systems running Windows Vista 64 eddition.
I've got some good news and bad news on that issue. I'll start with the
good news.
The good news is thanks to some help from Che Martain and some extensive
reading I found out why the game is crashing. Apparently the DirectX
libraries were compiled using x86 as the target platform. What I didn't
know is that when linking to these libraries it is a good idea to also
compile my games using x86 as the target platform rather than using the
generic any cpu target platform option. The reason is when installing
Managed DirectX on Vista 64 it requires the 32 byt version of the .NET
Framework, but because Mysteries of the Ancients was compiled using the
any cpu target platform it was using the 64 byt .NET Framework. End result
is a big crash. That's the good news.
The bad news is I am currently using Visual Studio .NET Express 2008. The
problem I am facing now is that Visual Studio Express will not allow me to
change the target platform type of my applications. That feature is only
available in Visual Studio Pro. Which means unless I get roughly $200 to
upgrade Visual Studio to the Pro eddition I can not support Windows Vista
64 eddition at this time. I'm sorry, but until I can afford to upgrade I
can only support the 32 byt versions of Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
Sincerely,
Thomas Ward
