[FNK_Drake]

Hi, Im havign a Problem installing Directx 9.0c. Everytime i go to install it, it imediatly says installation complete but does not copy any files, and my Directx version stays the same. Right now I have Directx 9.0b (which installed with no problems)... I tried uninstallign Directx and then reinstalling it using a program, but that did not help... Ive tried downloading Directx 9.0c form many diferent websites, Used copys of in included in games, but none work.. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Umm have you installed Service Pack 1? It has DX 9.0c.

I too have the same problem. SP1 does come with directx 9.0c, but it is incomplete. I have seen freeware tools to remove the current version of directx so i can install a recent 9.0c redist package, but all complain about the version, maybe because of sp1 being installed (but i love the firewall!) If anyway has a way to install a redist of 9.0c on win2k3 sp1 let me know ! Ive been stumped on this for months...

i see some people saying the SP1 dx9c is incomplete, but i don't know on what basis this is said? is some software nonfunctional?

tommyp and i, when he was developing slipstreaming for windows 2003 for HFSLIP (click on pic in sig) did a detailed analysis of dx9 and 2003 sp1. i did a registry analysis of before and after and found that only a few keys had changed. no files were replaced. a detailed analysis of dx9c files and their 2003 counterparts revealed that all of dx9c really is there. so, i am interested in a definitive answer on this, but i am in the 'it's all there' camp right now.
