Publishing a finished game

This might sound dumb, but i am kind of new to XNA and was wondering how to publish a game so that anyone can use it. I tried just hitting the publish button, and i get all the files and everything, but when i try to install it on a PC besides my own it does not work. Thanks for the help!

    Tim (Indiepath) is a nice bloke, and I know a few coders that use him, with a thumbs up from them.

    He has another site, http://pjio.com/, though, its under construction at the moment, and I havent heard any news from him in a while!

    Worth a try! Just make sure you have it in good working order before you show publishers it, oh, and when showing publishers your game, a top tip is to just provide a demo! ;)

    Do you get any error messages when you try to run the game


  • Simon Rapier

    yeah, an error poped up during the set-up... it said"

    "An exception 'System.TypeInitializationException' has occured in DefaultDomain."

    On other PCs, you have to make sure that they have everything installed there as well. They will need to have the 2.0 Framework installed, the XNA redistributable, the latest version of DirectX and your game.

    If any of those pieces are missing, your game isn't going to run.

    Here's a thread that talks about this a little.
