Sonic Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I think it's not needed for common people but just for developper ... latest official DirectX will show in Windows Update and it's actually the same of SP2 ... (if you have problem with dll from directx for a game, reinstall game from the cd and dlls will come back ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderz Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) You can use winrar to unarchive the original .exe file. When you've done that you can install Directx silently:DXSETUP.EXE /SILENTThe new DirectX version (for dec2005) is in fact a new version of DirectX, but with not-that-many updates. Edit: Check this link Bink.nu. It's an article where Steven Bink ponders about how/when Microsoft sets versions.
