DirectX v9.0c unattended? anyone?

[couzin2000]

It's funny, but nowhere in this forum is there mention of anyone wanting to install DirectX v9.0c. There's gotta be a silent switch for it, as I've been able to download the complete program. I can't be the only one wanting to use this, right? Even the unattended.msfn.org website doesn't have anything on this!

If anyone has the switch, please post it, I'm sure this will be very practical for everyone!

Errrr , in order to use unattended XP cd's you need to have service pack 2, and DirectX 9.0c comes already integrated into SP2

[Incroyable HULK]

Unattended = SP2 ??? NOT TRUE

If you want to install DirectX 9.0c you will need to download the full version:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...a1-914185249413

Then Extract using this command:

directx_9c_redist.exe /Q /T:"<WHERE YOU WANT>CDROOT\I386\SVCPACK" /C

Then install silently using:

dxsetup.exe /silent

Ive not heard much about version C is it stable?

[Incroyable HULK]

I've been using it since it was released... didn't have any issues.

Oh! yes. On Windows 2000 SP4 if you try to run DXDIAG.EXE, you'll have some error generated.

Otherwise I don't remember any other problems...

and because I like proving people wrong when they say they've searched, and it's actually here....

But I'll give you this one, it was in a different forum

I believe that thread was created PRIOR to SP2's release when people couldn't wait the few weeks to have it with SP2. lol.

Sorry, thought you had to because of :

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/gettingstarted.htm

What you will need to get started:

    * Windows XP CD with Service Pack 2 Slipstreamed

    * XP SP2 Deployment Tools

    * CDImage for Windows XP Professional Edition / Home Edition

    * A suitable CD Burning application

If you haven't made a slipstreamed SP2 CD yet then I'd suggest you do one now. You can follow MSFN's Universal Slipstreaming and Bootable CD Guide to do this.

Well, I have a slipstreamed version of XP with SP2... this means I don't have to run the DX install?

Sweeeeeet -- just saved about 30Mb off my XP cd

I want to ask if i want to put the directx 9.0c into the Windows XP Pro, (whichever is original, sp1 or sp2) unattended, I need to extract to the svcpack folder at (drive name):\(winxp pro folder)\i386\svcpack, then in the RunOnceEx.cmd, I add this:

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Directx 9.0c" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\i386\svcpack\dxsetup.exe /silent" /f

is it the correct syntax of the Previous code?

Thanks for answering my questions

[Incroyable HULK]

Your code won't work.

You have to decide if you want to install via svcpack.inf (and put the files in the svcpack folder)

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
BuildNumber=2600

[SetupData]
CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack" (or \i386\Update as outlined in the guide)

[SetupHotFixesToRun]
dxsetup.exe /silent

OR

If you want to run from RunOnceEx.cmd (and put the files in $OEM$\$1\install\Applications\DirectX folder)

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Directx 9.0c" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\DirectX\dxsetup.exe /silent" /f
