Slipstreaming DirectX9 into Windows 2K

[notaustin]

I have created a slipstreamed Windows 2000 CD. Through searching the posts I found reference to how to integrate IE6. I used the same methods to integrate Windows Media Player 9 and Java Virtual Machine. When I try to integrate DirectX 9 I get a message about "Invalid Command Line Switch" regardless of whether I use '/install /silent' or '/Q:A /R:N'. If I go to a command prompt and '/?' to see the usable switches I still get "Invalid Command Line Switch". I am using the DirectX 9.03 Redistributable from Microsoft's site. Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks

You need to extract the file you download (using winzip/winrar/whatever).

Then in the folder that comes now, you see the installer (dxsetup.exe).

Put that folder to where you need it (CD/network/wherever) and run that exe with "/silent" switch - as in,

whatever_your_folder_etc\dxsetup.exe /silent

Hoping this helps...

When I tried the switch it still just said "invalid command prompt". Where should I dl the executable from?

See this thread for details of where to download it, and how to make a silent install of it (for win2k/XP) - dX 9c unattended.

Enjoy!

Thanks.

You ROCK.

I followed the instructions of the link and had problems. I did find that if I put just ' /silent' as long as it was the last of the $OEM$ commands it worked fine. Thanks again for all your help.
