Windows XP issue
Hi,
I am new here. I just downloaded Esenthel engine. And when I tried to run the exe I got error, I have attached the image. It also says unable to initialize pyhisX.dll. Can I run without it?
Edit: I am using Win XP.

Thanks in advance.


Attached File(s) Image(s)

RE: Running Error
Hello and welcome to Esenthel!

I've just looked around the files, and the only references to EnumSystemLocalesEx that I've found are in PhysX DLL files.

The engine source code was written to support WinXP, and does not use any functions that require a newer OS.
However as it looks, latest PhysX may require Windows Vista.

Therefore, it is possible to make games with Esenthel that run on WinXP, however they cannot use PhysX.
The Editor was built to always load PhysX, so it looks like you need to upgrade your OS to use the Editor.

An alternative is if you'd purchase the Source License, and recompile the Engine+Editor (with Bullet physics engine used instead of PhysX, this change is a one-line change in the source code).

I've made a post at Nvidia PhysX forum requesting Win XP support:
