xbox msrs "service" no longer works under Vista

greetings,

the service for the xbox controller generates the following error;

Error Loading Diagram
Unable start configured partners
Codes:Receiver
ReasonSystem.IO.IOException: Code:W3C.Soap.FaultCode,Subcode:unknown,ReasonTongue Tiedystem.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. > System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found.

Are there any updates for the service. I know we had to re-compile our own service to operate under Vista.

Regards,

David

The only reason we have seen for the game controller service not running, is XNA and DirectX not being installed properly. Please re-install directX (just the runtime redist) and latest XNA refresh

Thank you for the suggestion.

I re-installed DirectX but still have a problem.

Speciffcally, When I drag the XBox controller service onto the Diagram (In MSRS VPL), THere is a Red Explaimation at the input side of the blocl. When you hover the mouse over this, the message says that the data type is diferent than what is expected for the service. I got this same error for our own services until I re-compiled our service (www.allmotion.com/msrs) under Vista . It also required updating Visual Studio with the Vista updates.


So, this is why I figured that the service probably needs to be re-compiled for the same reason.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

David

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. THis is on the 32 bit version of Vista.

Okay,

Someone a bit smarter than I pointed out that the Xinput Service project was on the disk. After re-compiling it under Vista, the Service works with no errors.
