Error: WPP has stopped working

I just purchased War Plan Pacific and loaded the game onto my computer. Everything seemed to go fine until I clicked on the icon to start the game. A message immediately popped onto the screen that said "WPP has stopped working.” Now what?

It sounds as though some of the supporting programs are not installing. Please try the following:

If you are running Vista SP1 or later or Windows 7 or later, please run the following from the folder where you unzipped your downloaded file or from the game CD:

• vcredist_x86.exe
• xnafx20_redist.msi
• direct\DXSetup.exe

If you are running Vista RTM, install the XNA framework 3.5 from Microsoft located at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en

and then run the same files under Vista RTM above.

If you’re running on XP, try installing:

• Netfx20sp1_x86.exe
• xnafx20_redist.msi
• direct\DXSetup.exe
