I have been trying to run the tools on a Windows XP machine but it seems thats the applications are not running (XINPUT error). I tried to compile one of the tutorials too, compilation went smooth but the application rejected in running saying that the system didn't have DX10. Is it mandatory that the Engine requires DX10? Well on a Vista PC I found everything is smooth like a breeze.

Thanks in advance.

EE works ok on WinXP

You either need to install DirectX Runtime (use web-installer),

if that won't help please install WinXP Service Packs.

When compiling tutorials make sure to select "Debug" and not "Debug DX10+" project configuration.

nah just download the missing files manually from net and copy to the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32 and chk it will work i just sorted out the prob

Thanks a lot to the administrator on the heads up answer for the compiling as well as the DirectX issue! I guess its working now
