DirectX Redist Dec05


Recommended Posts

Hi !

Yeah, yet another DirectX thread. Sorry, I did a search but seemingly there is no way to install the directx redist silently ?

Mhh, there is a new redist available here.

Or the German version which I would need here

Is there any way to install this silently on WinXP SP2 ?

Thanks for your help !

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 ...)

You can use winrar to unarchive the original .exe file. When you've done that you can install Directx silently:

DXSETUP.EXE /SILENT

The 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.
