I got the following exception when building OD version 12.4 on Windows 8:
- "The system cannot find the file specified.":"Microsoft.DirectX, Version=1.0.2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
I doesn't happen on my Windows 7 at all.
Also, it only appears when you select graphic option as DirectX OR access database from a computer not in ComputerRef list where default GraphicSimple is DirectX and DirectXFormat is empty (check computerpref table in the database).
Anyway, if you encounter this problem, please remove Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D from your OpenDental reference list and add it again from Required dlls\Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll. It works on my system.
Cheers

DirectX exception in Windows 8
Re: DirectX exception in Windows 8
That's interesting. I haven't heard that before. I'll update the reference path in the project to point to the required dlls folder by default so that this won't happen for other people in the future.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

I am using win 8 64 bit with directx 11.0. and open dental 12.4.65 (foreign) version. when I try to opt for directx graphics from file menu, no format is compatible with the device. what would be the solution?

Try the steps in the "Troubleshooting sequence if DirectX is not working properly" section on this page: http://opendental.com/manual/graphics.html
