I think you should create a newsletter system for users to optionally enable so we can keep ourselves up to date when new engine updates are out and so forth.

I always post news in the version history <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.esenthel.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=26">viewforum.php?f=26</a><!-- l -->

Everytime there is a new Esenthel version, does it auto-update or do I have to uninstall my version (delete it all) and install the latest from the website manually?

I'm thinking about making an auto updater, however currently I'm tied with programming other things so for now you need to manually download, extract the archive, and remember to copy the header/lib files.

I know this is minor, but it is also helpful to write the current Esenthel version under the download link in the site so we don't have to continuously navigate through the site to check, and THEN go to the downloads page.

In the next version there will be new tool - engine auto updater

Thank you so much; that will be extremely helpful!

I just downloaded the Esenthel engine and exported all of the files to My Documents. I went into Tools and double clicked Autoupdater but gives me an error called "Autoupdate.exe - Unable To Locate Component" and says "This application has failed to start because d3dx9_40.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

Not sure why this is happening.

[EDIT]
Downloaded the DirectX SDK November 2008 and it works properly now.
