Failed to locate assembly Microsoft.DirectX

motorcyclone · 2008-07-14, 13:36

Hi
I have been using MediaPortal 1 very successfully for some time and its been great.
I have however recently started getting an error message whenever I try to change settings and then OK these in the Config Settings.

"Failed to locate assembly "Microsoft.Directx.DirectSound, version 1.0.2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Note the configuration program must be executed from/reside in the MediaPortal folder, the execution will now end.

MediaPortal itself seems to run fine but I can no longer make any changes to the config menu as this message always comes up and then the program exits.

I would be grateful for any help concerning this error message.

Thanks to all for all your hard work in creating MediaPortal I love it to bits.

It looks like this is caused by Skype4MP, and can be fixed by installing the latest DirectX Update. For more details, and a link to a DirectX download, have a look at:
