Mising X3DAudio1_6.dll error!?
by Maximillian Brewer · in Torque 3D Professional · 06/17/2010 (8:09 pm) · 10 replies
Nearly finished my project. Opened up the Torque Toolbox and packaged it up. When I ran it, is told me that the X3DAudio1_6.dll is missing.
What is this problem to do with?
Thanks

Just search your system for the file and copy it to your game directory

Reinstall the latest directX and problem is solved. Don't look for sites that allow you to download just this .dll!!!!!!

That's Microsoft's official DirectX page.

Not only will installing the latest DirectX fix the problem, but there have been updates to DirectX as recent as February this year.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/resultsForProduct.aspx?displaylang=en&productID=9C954C37-1ED1-4846-8A7D-85FC422D1388

Thats the link for the Directx June 2010 Page

Copying it to the game folder allows it to run on systems which do not have the latest directx. Yes, just search your system for it, do not download it from other sites. and... the latest directx was released this month, not feb.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d&displaylang=en

If you want to keep your download size down, it is possible to make a "compact" installation with only the specific DirectX update your game needs. For T3D, you only need these files:
DSETUP.dll
dsetup32.dll
dxdllreg_x86.cab
DXSETUP.exe
dxupdate.cab
Mar2009_d3dx9_41_x86.cab
Mar2009_X3DAudio_x86.cab
You can find those files in the Redist folde rin the DirectX SDK installation folder. It's less than 4MBs (uncompressed).

@Cai: distributing the DirectX dlls into your game directory is against the Microsoft license agreement. You can distribute the installer provided by Microsoft, but not individual DLLs.If you want to keep your download size down, it is possible to make a "compact" installation with only the specific DirectX update your game needs.

The sites offering a download for just one dll are often bad sites. The downloads are most likely not the file you need (although the name said so) and are infected by trojans, spyware and so. So be aware.

I just wanted to say one thing I have been to those sites that offer downloads that are infected. I would not post a link for someone to a bad site. I have used that site. Anyways I didn't think of re-installing direct X I usually just prefer to get the file that is missing or corrupt.

Well... you learn some thing new everyday ! Thanx for the info and saving me from having the pants sued off me by MS :P Will look into the compact DX redist option. So we're allowed to create our own custom DX redist ? ?
