Custom Installer
A downloadable tool
This installer setup was put together by Casgadom from the Pixel Game Maker MV discord! It includes a both a guide and the necessary parts to compile a build which will allow users to automatically install the dependencies PGMMV player needs (VC's, DirectX, etc.). This version of the installer is for standalone builds only (non Steam)!
ATTENTION - The installation process has changed, the video doesn't accurately portray a proper step by step setup anymore, but the PDF guide is up to date! For now the install directory is fixed to avoid problems with the save system. The default install directory is C:\"YourGameNameHere". The art for the icon is from Devis from the Pixel Game Maker MV discord!
- Download the guide by Casgadom
- Download the PGMMV_Custom_Install by Casgadom.zip
- Follow the guide or video tutorial to setup your custom installer (some additions made to the pdf guide)
- (optional) Zip the installer file - *.exe - and upload your build to itch.io
- this prevents download problems with setup files on itch.io

This seems to have helped some of my users, but there's still a missing MSVCP120.dll error for certain Win 11 users.
Is there any way to add the missing files to the installer? I've been working with someone with this issue and we've been trying everything to no avail. If this installer could fix this critical issue it would be a tremendous help.
So MSVCP120.dll is referring to the 2013 VC++, however it is included in this installer:
I'll try reaching out to Casgadom. He is the one who developed it, I just offered to host it and he agreed.
Until then I would ask the user to delete all current VC++ in the Window Apps and then use the all-in-one installer: Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One Jul 2025 Download
We got it fixed. He installed both vcredist_x86 and vcredist_x64 Visual C++ redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2013, and enabling .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows features if that didn't work.
Awesome and sauce!
Cool
