Peedy's Pizza Place Application

[Greg Grosiak]

Hello,

I have been learning vb.net 2003 and am tring to
install an application called Peedys Pizza place, which
requires a download of peedy.exe (Animated char files).
I downloaded the char file and when I try and run the
app, it tells me that file is not in the /char
directory. Where is this refering to ? I do not see any
directory called "Char". I also get error saying that I
do not have text to speech or speech to text installed.
But, I do have speech working in word 2002. I know I have
a speach engine out there. So I guess I am confused on
what I need to download or activate. I dont want to mess
up word 2002 speech. Can anyone help ?

Thanks,

Greg

I think you need to create a directory named char (path should be in the
source, something like Application.Path() + "/char/peedie.???" or similar).
I have not played with this app, but I will now go look for it, as it sounds
like a fun waste of time (not a total waste, as I may learn something, but
you know what I mean).

That's part of Microsoft Agent. That directory is installed on my computer
at C:\WINDOWS\msagent\chars (Windows XP and Office XP). You can look this
up at http://www.microsoft.com/msagent, if you don't already have it
installed on your system. There are also Interop samples and explanations
in Visual Studio 2002 in this directory: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET/FrameworkSDK/Samples/StartSamples.htm#TechSamples. It's not in
VS 2003, however.
