Yuri's Revenge "The type initializer for... threw an exception."

[FireWingViadar]

I'm running Yuri's Revenge on Windows 8.1. Whenever I try to click a button on the main menu, I get this message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuri's Revenge has crashed. Error message:

The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.MediaPlayer' threw an exception.

If the issue is repeatable, contact the YR staff at forums.cncnet.org/forum/11-support/.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then the game crashes, so here I am, contacting you guys. I hope this helps, and that you can fix it. I'll of course do anything I can to help.

I think the CnCNet launchers require the Microsoft XNA framework. Shouldn't be hard to find.

Only on Windows XP.

 

@FireWingViadar If you're running the N edition of Windows 8.1, you need to install the Media Feature Pack: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42503
