Direct X Integration Into 2003 Server Setup Files

[sled]

Good day all,

I am creating a standard for unattended installs of Windows 2003. I want to replace the original installation files for Direct X 8.1 in the I386 folder with their equivalents for version 9.0c. Next will be making the appropriate changes to the svcpack.inf and other files. After that I will need to import the DX9 install settings into the registry. This process was addressed by jdeboeck and mstest in this thread:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=12252&hl=mtest

However, the links in that thread to the completed scripts/cabs by jdeboeck are dead. I think that I could learn alot from his work, so if anyone knows where those scripts/cabs can be found, I would greatly appreciate it. Barring that, I believe I will need to start from scratch. To that end, I downloaded the DX9.0c SDK, and in the redistributable folder are the following cab files:

bda.cab - bdant.cab - bdaxp.cab - directx.cab - dxnt.cab - dxupdate.cab

Google has told me that directx.cab is for the 9x line, and it seems that dxupdate.cab would not be the one for 2003 specific installations. That leaves:

bda.cab - bdant.cab - bdaxp.cab and dxnt.cab.

I cannot find any information about the meaning of the bda names. Does anyone know what these files are for? Or, does dxnt.cab hold the needed files and infs to intergrate DX9.0c into the 2003 files?

Thanks in advance. I would also like to respectfully state that I am not interested in other methods of installing DirectX. I know that there are many, and that they work quite well. I am trying to learn this process so that I understand those other methods better.

Thanks again,

Sled
