Unable to find Microsoft.XNA.Framework.dll with dll copied local

Question

I have a project where I am using the Microsoft XNA framework for sound rendering. It works fine on my PC, but when I deploy the project to the client computer, it states that it can't find Microsoft.XNA.Framework.dll. I have the Copy Local attribute setup to copy this dll into into my project, due to the client computer not having XNA installed.

The client computer is not connected to the internet and at this time, cannot be connected to the internet.

The client computer is a Windows XP PC. My development computer has the XNA framework installed and is a Windows 7 PC.

Due to project concerns, we would like to not have to install the entire XNA framework, due to the intensive nature of some of the software on the client PC's and only want to have the base components needed for my program to run.

Is there any other dll's that Microsoft.XNA.Framework.dll is dependent on, or will it just not work without the full XNA framework being installed?

Thanks

Answer 1

It was decided to go ahead and install the re-distributable version of the XNA framework on the client PC and evaluate the performance so that continued development time would not be necessary.

If an issue occurs, this issue will be re-evaluated then.
