Resolved [Mobile] hosting mobile server on a PC (can't start the .exe file)

[Stormy]

After trying to host a server on my computer for a while I came across this message whenever I would try starting the terrariaserver.exe it says that it cannot load file or micrsosoft.Xna.framework Anyone have a similar problem or solution? I also don't have a ccopy of Terraria PC version so I have had to create a path for the terraria worlds save file ( where the worlds are stored), the path is this PC -> Documents -> My Games -> Terraria -> Mobile -> Worlds. The command prompt closes about a secound after the starting of the file so sry for the bad screenshot of the command prompt. I have already port forwarded the PC I'm running the server on
photo 1 prompt that happens after I start the .exe file
photo 2 screenshot of the folder for the .exe file, zip file, and localisation
photo 3 screenshot where the world file is ( not sure if it is neccesary but it's here)

You'll need to first install XNA 4.0 redist. Then try launching the server file again.

Hey there - it appears that if you do not have PC Terraria installed, you might be missing the needed XNA files.

DR will look into making that better moving forward, but for now, if you download and install XNA here> Download Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Then you should be able to run it fine.
