Avatar2D version detection

Deployment and installation of the Avatar2D parts:

All versions have ID_number in main Avatar2D directory. Something like _AVv1.23072013 alias _AVv#.DDMMYYY, where # is actual version, DDMMYYY is day of the month(DD), month(MM) and year(YYYY) of last update (date in European format).

Avatar2D is divided into several standalone parts with one main exe module.  All standalone modules need Avatar2D directory structure and all RTF, BMP etc. files, included to this directory structure. Main Avatar2D module and all standalone modules have identical name ‘AVATAR2D.EXE’ because of the simple priority scheduler is used instead of a classic job scheduler. Correct deployment of these files is important. Every standalone module can run without existence of the main module or any other module(s).

Avatar2D Installation instruction

Subsidiary tools required for Avatar2D x32 for Windows:

Avatar2D has no full installer at this time. Follow these instructions:

 

0.  Install all subsidiary tools. If it is necessary.

1. Create suitable directory manually ... 'C:\AVATAR2D' for example (it is recommended).

2. Copy content of ZIPpped file to the directory - 'C:\AVATAR2D '.

3. Run Install.exe file in ''C:\AVATAR2D' directory.

4. Select AVATAR2D  working directory - 'C:\AVATAR2D' for example (it is recommended).

7. Press 'INSTALL' button – and hope.

8. AVATAR2D  main working window(s) resolution can be changed in menu

AVATAR2D :  [Config]  

Recommended monitor resolution is 1680x1050. 

Avatar2D  ALL versions  require minimally Windows XP 32bit SP2 (installation sequence may be important):

 

 

1/ MS Installer 3.1 or higher(according to the Windows version)

2/ .NET2.0 library +.NET2.0 library Service Pack 2 (base package)

3/ .NET3.5 library + .NET3.5 library SP1

4/ SlimDX SDK library 2.xx, March 2011 (must be installed first)*

5/ SlimDX SDK library, September 2011

6/ MS VC++ 2008 SP1 redistributable package.

7/ MS XNA 3.1 full installer

 

All components (subsidiary tools) must be installed manually.

 

*Avatar2D uses some DLLs from SlimDX March 2011 and some from September 2011. So you need both versions. If 64bit Windows is concerned, .NET 4.0 Full version have to be installed, Client Profile version only is not enough. SlimDX SDK and MS XNA 3.1 are required as well. By the way, Avatar2D uses ‘comma’ as a decimal separator. Some Windows - US versions use dot. To correct this problem, you have to change local setting in windows ControlPanel folder: LocalAndLanguagesSettings.
