I just purchased TSE and was wondering how to set up.The instructions are a little confusing.I downloaded tse milestone 4 .Now the mail that i got says i need to use the cvs repository.I can use that,but not sure if this is necessary.Another thing when i try to build the engine i get errors ,some headers not found in the direct x sdk.I just downloaded the direct x sdk(december).

Use the downoadlabel version for now, so you can get used to things.

The december update seems to not be working so far. I'd try the previous version of October 2006

You can survive with the Warnings, but for the error (not finding the dll) you must set the path of the DirwctX include and library files in Visual Studio. Go to Tools/Options in the IDE and then locate your directories and set the path to the include and library files.

Usually the environment is correctly set if you install Visual Studio first and then DXSDK. If you install the DXSDK first the you must set your paths manually.

Luck!
