Automated installation of DirectX9.0b??
Nathan Harmsworth
I'm attempting to make a package that will automatically install directx9.0b
(redist version)
i.e. automated so that you do not have any user interaction...
When I try and find out what the command line switches are - the usual "/?"
switch i.e.
"dxsetup /?", I get a window saying: "Invalid Command Line Switch", and
every guess
of a command line switch I try comes up with the same result.
I've tried using the .msi of the package with msiexec but in the log that i
have it create on
a quiet install, it has errors (I can list them here if needed) like in the
post "Can DX9b
runtime be installed through Group Policy?" (microsoft.public.directx.misc)
Can anyone suggest anything?
I shall continue regardless :)
Regards,
Nathan H.

Is .Net Framework installed prior to installing DX?

The VLC will have to go through a registration process to get access to the
Downloads and their agreement info. After the VLC initially signed their
agreement, the Notices or Primary on the agreement would have received an
MVLS invitation e-mail, which includes a unique Registration ID, which they
should have used to gain access to their agreements. If they didn't do this
within 90 days, their RegID expires and they have to ask support to help
gain access. The support links are stated on the site, but if they're in the
US have them send a mail to mvls...@msdirectservices.com.
There is also a DirectX setup API available that allows developers to
customize the DirectX installation. Here are a couple of useful resources.

I am almost 100% certain that u must have .Net Framework installed prior to
install Managed Direct X (MDX). I.e. DX install fails to install MDX0901
since no .Net Framework is installed.

Hi again Anders
Sorry bout the slow reply - kind of left this one for a while....
I downloaded the "dx90b_redist.exe" package (31.8MB)...since then I have
downloaded and installed the .Net Framework 1.1 (theres an update I should
imagine I should download too...er...right? Even if not needed for this
hehe)
What do I do now? What should I try now? Kind of forgotten everything I've
done hehe
Kind Regards,
Nathan H

If you have downloaded .Net Framework (any non beta version is ok, 1.1 or
1.0) and installed it then you just have to reinstall dx90b_redist.exe and
all should work fine.
