How to redistribute VMR9
Colin Dixon
I have a working app using VMR9, but the install fails on a clean Win7
machine because the VMR9 can't be created. Looks like I need to include this
in my VS Setup project. The target OSs are Win7, Vista, and XP (although the
latter is not essential)
I have DX11 on my system, of course. I'd like to build a custom action in
the installer to install only those DX components needed, as this is a web
install. Can you tell me which they are, and if I need to be aware of
anything else.
I am comfortable with building custom actions in setup projects.

VMR9 is included with a default install on Win7. My app has no problem
creating VMR9 on a clean install. The samples work as well.
It's probably:
- D3D9 is disabled in your install (check the (video acceleration and DWM
state in the Control Panel). Also, I'm not sure if Win7 Starter contains DX
support at all.
- A problem with the video driver (I recommend you first try the VMR9
samples, then see if an updated driver is available).
- Something in your code (compare to the samples, if they work).
