It seems that you're using the old launcher. Re-download Sallos from http://www.runuo.com/krrios/sallos/sallos.zip . If you don't want to re-download all the Gunbound update files (~100MB), unpack the archive into your current Sallos directory, overwriting existing files.

If, after doing the above, you get a error message similar to this:

PHP Code:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131019.
   at Sallos.Core.Main(String[] args)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.InternalInvoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean isBinderDefault, Assembly caller, Boolean verifyAccess)
   at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.InternalInvoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean verifyAccess)
   at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture)
   at System.Reflection.MethodBase.Invoke(Object obj, Object[] parameters)
   at Sallos.Core.Launch(String[] args)
   at Sallos.Core.Main(String[] args) 


(notice "StartUp" -> "Launch")

then Sallos can't load the main core because it's probably missing some dependent DLLs - most likely the Managed DirectX libraries.
Check if you have those installed (in C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\ you should have the folders Microsoft.DirectX, Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback, etc.).

There's a rare case when Sallos won't start even if you have those DLLs installed. To remedy this, copy all DLLs from the folders C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.DirectX.* to your Sallos folder.

If you have a DirectX 9.0 install, you can install the Managed DirectX Runtime libraries with the following command:

C:\Path\To\DirectX9\Install\dxsetup.exe /InstallManagedDX

-- OR --

Extract the file mdxredist.msi from ManagedDX.CAB (located in the DirectX 9 installation folder) and run it.

-- OR --

Download this archive and unpack to the folder where you installed Sallos.

(sorry i dunno how to put it into the code thing but im pretty sure its the same as above)

i have the libraries, DirectX, .netframework, but still nothing... help plz i wana play again! lol

[Phantom]

Your missing something...

But your error has nothing to do with the error that Ryan got while using a system with the .NET Framework

[Tavoc]

im guessing i was missing something in the managed files cuz i downloaded the link from the krrios's post way back and installed that and it worked...but now i cant get a connection!! oh well.. least im back this far
