VS2005 and projects using DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.dll

[Leon]

hi there,

I have written an app which uses DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback for audio
playback. I installed the latest DirectX sdk on my developing machine
in order to use this extension. On the developing machine everything
is working just fine, but when I install my app on a different computer
I always get an error that the AudioVideoPlayback.dll isn't available
even though I set "copy local" in vs2005 for this dll to true and find
this dll in my app directory after building the application.

I only get my app running on different computers if I install the full
direktx sdk on these machines as well. It's obvious that this can't be
a satisfying solution.

I assume that I need to set the reference to this dll differently so that
the final app will use the dll available in its directory. But how can
I do this?

What am I missing here??

thanx for your input on this.

The DirectX installer won't install the managed DLLs unless the .NET
runtime is installed first.

What do you mean by .NET runtime?? The .NET framwork?? I tried
reinstalling the DirectX 9.0c redistribution package after I installed
the .NET framework (OS is WinXP SP3). But still the same. It only
works when installing the full(>400MB) DirextX SDK.

Can I deploy the required managed DLL somehow with my application?
