[casual_games] Installing under Vista, anyone?

[Chuck Walbourn]

> Hi, Folks.  We have been spending a few days attempting to get our games to install and properly register with the

> building and linking in GameuxInstallHelper.dll.  We have been attempting to use NSIS and Innosetup as our installers,

> We're seeing stuff take place when we call the DLL, but the game is not showing up on the Games Explorer!

Have you verified the sample itself is working on your system? Have you tried substituting the GDFExampleBinary for your own GDF using your installer's registration code?

This stuff does work, so there's likely some detail along the way you didn't get quite right.
