DirectX End-User Runtimes (Aug 2007)

[Guest Carlos]

Microsoft officially released an update to its DirectX runtimes.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb7397f3-0949-487b-9247-8fee451bf952&DisplayLang=en

This download, and installation, should usually not be necessary.

Manufacturers of games should include these updates bundled in their games

in order to make them functional.

The truth is that they don't do that and I have found a couple of instances

when installing this MS update solved the absence of some DX dlls.

Vista and XP x64 compatible.

Don't worry about. The setup program will put the files in the right

place no matter what version of Windows that you are using. As Carlos

said, these minor DirectX updates are rarely needed.

Kue2:

The path asked by the installer is just for extraction.

It does not ask for the installation path.

It will take care by itself later on with no "human" intervention.

I can't recall which games were packed without the necessary dll's, but

there were definitely two of them that would not run.

Installing this pack solved it.

The good thing about this distribution is that it requieres no reboot.

Just launch it, keep doing your tasks, and wait for it to finish.
