I find it a tad bizarre... I've made an app that utilizes openAL and GME (Game Music Emulator), however when I package it (libgme.dll for GME, OpenAL32.dll and wrap_oal.dll for openAL), I get an exception error. Doesn't do it when I run either the source or the exe, however when I bundle it (.rar, or .zip, or w/e with the above files) it spits out the error. Makes it a bit difficult to send it to people

Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe it needs them in system folders... Yes; both openAL dll's are in system32 (where they install to), and libgme is required to be in the same folder as the app. Also that wouldn't explain why I can't run it when it's bundled from my own machine Logged

^:P

I've also had people trying it install openAL themselves as well.

I should also note, I've checked all of my resources, so it's not a matter of resources missing from the application either (they're all included in the binary). The only possible cause for the error is openAL or libgme. Has to be one of those two extensions D:
