The Dark Basic and Blitz Basic compilers were both self-contained, but they are both ancient now so it's unsurprising there'll be some issues.

Thanks for pointing out the wikihost thing, that's where it used to be hosted like 8 years ago but it doesn't exist anymore. I'll update it later.

yeah i just CANNOT get it to run on my gaming rig, but my frankenstein of a computer thats a 2008 mac pro jerryrigged to run windows 10 64 bit with the xeon processors works just fine. And Im using google drive so the file is synced so its quite literally the same file and folders and works fine on one windows 10 and not the other, though my current pc is running creators update and the other isnt, I will update it and see if i lose access to the files.

After some sleuthing i found that it cannot creat the dplayx.dll for some reason C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dplayx.dll, access denied even with admin rights and given it everyone status. very weird.

That is wierd. Not much I can do about it :)

my guess is that if you carried over an OS from windows 7 or 8 it had more compatibility. I had troubles playing command and conquer red alert 2 with the same direct draw issue had to use windows 10 work around with a ddraw wrapper. Seems win 10 is fundamentally missing this feature if you never had any previous windows installed. Guess im boned.Will have to make a virtual machine just for the app it seems.
