GAPI missing?

Does anyone know if a more useful message can be given to the user, other than "program" or ones of it's components is missing?

Is this the OS returning this? i.e does the OS check dependencies before executing, or is this a bail out message after it trys to call the gx.dll?

It just that I've found a few devices that dont "like" the std gx.dll when supplied with my game.... causing crashes etc. but by not installing it, and the OS using the default factory one works.... (no idea why), anyhow this means that older devices come up with the above error, and I wanted a better way of informing the user, whats going on, i.e "please go to... and install GAPI"

Again, this could be a INF installer issue, with only a gx.dll copied to 2000 devices, as most 2002 devices have it?

That doesn't have anything to do with the application loading the DLL. You will still get the "This app won't run. We know why but we won't tell you." message if the DLL can't be found.
