Title: EASY FIX FOR XP!
Post by: Madoring on October 08, 2008, 03:54:37 am

Please reply and let me know if this helps ANYONE at all!
Thank you :D

HERE WAS WHAT MY PROBLEMS WERE...
http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33773.0 (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33773.0)

HERE IS WHAT I DID TO FIX IT

1.)   First i had to Download Windows installer 3.0
http://files.filefront.com/Windows+Installer+30+Redistributable+English/;4952811;/fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/Windows+Installer+30+Redistributable+English/;4952811;/fileinfo.html)

2.)   Next i got Microsoft Visual C++

3.)   Then i had to get Openal32.dll
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/openal32.zip?0VEfRBYHfT (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/openal32.zip?0VEfRBYHfT)
(i actually DID need the openal32.dll you may or may not!)

4.)   After that i had to alter the updater config (change "false" to "true")
see post by Caarie http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33701.0

5.)   Finally I ran the updater...WAITED...Now i am playing
Good Luck to all, and see you online

you DO NOT need to download this dll from anyone other then the updater when you run it.

I've got it all covered thanks to Madoring

Here's a rapidshare link for you:

http://rapidshare.com/files/152272965/Xp_Fix_for_Planeshift_v0.4.01.rar.html

It contains:

Windows™Installer     -|   KB884016-v2-x86-EN       |
Microsoft Visual C++    -|   2005 Redistributable        |
openal32.dll                -|   v5.10.2920.0                  |
updaterinfo.xml            -|   (<config active="true">)  |
psupdater                    -|   (fixed)                            |

torrents for downloading PlaneShift-v0.4.01
readmefile


If anyone has the skills to compile all of those (maybe exept the readmifile) into an installer it would be nice, I just don't have the time to write a huge *.bat file

Greetings to everyone.

Locking Thread and will delete new ones

As every one has been told there is no need to download the dll manually, if you follow the instructions in Caarries thread that is stickied at the top of this board  http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33701.0 the updater will install openal32.dll but as stated it may require several runs of the updater to collect all the files
