How to add DirectX to nLite: Official instructions....

[benbenno]

OK, DirectX standalone installer when clicked asks the user to extract all its cabs and set up file to where ever user chooses.

Now to integrate DirectX into nLite, what must one do?

Do I just add all these cabs into nLite Hotfixes excluding the setup.exe file?

Whats the correct way.

Preferably ur answer will be an instruction manual for all users reading this, and this post can be a reference point for everyone.

So lol, here is how to integrate DirectX into nLite........

benbenno, no need for an instruction manual. This has been addressed many times before and lots of information can be found via a search of this forum. Enjoy, John.

EDIT: You do not add .cab or .exe files to nLite Hot Fix section. Some AddOns are .cab files and can be added into the Hot Fix section.

Yes thankyou johnhc. That really helps no one.

Anyone else willing to not help?

There's no need for that attitude, benbenno. We're not paid to help you. You should appreciate that johnhc cared enough to reply at all.

A quick search of MSFN yielded the following result:

A search of RyanVM's forum found this:

redxii has been more active and is known to produce reliable update packs and addons. I'd go with his.
