   working with XINPUT..
  I picked up a wired xbox360 controller today..I installed the drivers but,while trying to run the sample XINPUT apps from october SDK  nothing happens.. So I tried to rebuild the samples when it runs i get XINPUT9_1_0.dll missing.. i tried a search for this but it turned up nothing... any one have any ideas?   
  haa.. i figured it out..too bad i downloaded every thing i could think of order to finally get the correct one...apparently just downloading the october sdk is not enough... you also have to download and install the october redistributeables ......maybe that will save some one the hassle i just went through ;P
