hi,

i won't post a edited M$-file, but you can download PSPad(a freeware text editor with a cool hex-edit function) and do it yourself. And the switch will be /OPK.

hope this helps a bit

There's no need, /silent works like ZoSTeR says

then i can delete Q839643,can't I?

Yes, you can delete that patch - that's required only for dX9b, and you have 9C.

And, Ahhhhh !!!!!

sweet proof of my post above. So the the dx9c setup was already unattend-friendly (without needing to be hex-edited) with its /silent switch, eh?

but hex-editing is so coooooool

Can anyone confirm that /silent and /installmanageddx (from the redist notes) work together? I get no error message but the managed extensions aren't installed, win2K if it matters.

Directx9.0C Redist silent install with svcpack.inf

You need is another dxsetup that run with /install /silent swich.

See attch:

Dxsetup.exe /install /silent 137Kb only setup

==================================================

DX9Cred.EXE no swiches

it is repack with IExpress full directx9Credist-Multilanguage support 34214KB.

Sorry cant send this one

dxsetup.exe

why do you need another dxsetup.exe when the one already included works with /silent?

mmm... one of those stupid questions... why do you want to install 9.0c silently?? wait one (or a few) week(s) and slipstream xp sp2 that has directx 9.0c and wmp10 built-in

SP2 doesn't have WMP10

Also, what about those people who still use Win2k or Win2003?

SP2 doesn't have WMP10

sorry i read this somewhere on the forum

Also, what about those people who still use Win2k or Win2003?

sure Alanoll, i didn't think of that because i do not use that OS

so were does this go"dxsetup.exe /silent", in svcpack?

and put the unpaked files in update file in I386

By the way,

when you extract the directx_9c_redist.exe file, the following files can be removed safely (if on XP and I also think 2000):

BDA.cab, BDANT.cab, DirectX.cab, directx redist.txt, and ManagedDX.CAB.

ManagedDX.CAB is of course needed if you specify the appropriate dxsetup.exe flag.

Removing these files shaves off about 19.8 MB.

What switches make ManagedDX.cab needed on the disc?

Files information:

- BDANT.cab > Windows NT and 2000

- BDAXP.cab > Windows XP (and 2003?)

- DXNT.cab > Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

- BDA.cab > Windows 98 and ME

- Directx.cab > Windows 98 and ME

/silent with the original dxsetup.exe on Windows 2000 (using SVCPack) doesn't work. There are two errors: GDI32.dll and USER32.dll when running dxdiag

====================================

Guide to make a Silent Directx 9.0C install:

1- download directx 9.0c redist

2- extract

3- replace the dxsetup.exe by the new one here (a user already posted it up there)

4- You can delete Directx.cab and BDA.cab if you are running on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

5- Start > Run > iexpress.exe

6- select "create new self extraction directive file"

7- select "extract files and run an installation command"

8- title: dx90csilent

9- select "no prompt"

10- "do not display a license"

11- add all the extracted files

12- in the first combobox (install program), select "dxsetup.exe" and add this string at the end: " /install /silent". It now should be "dxsetup.exe /install /silent"

13- select hidden

14- select "no message"

15- choose a path where the EXE install will be saved AND check "hide file extracting progress animation from user"

16- select "no reboot"

17- select "don't save"

18- click next

19- Done!

Now you have a full silent install. You can start it where you want (svcpack included).
