Extract the files using winrar to a directory and install using DXsetup.exe /silent.

Other way:

You can decompress the .exe by microsoft to a DirectX9 folder for example, and use

DXSETUP.EXE /silent

inside the DirectX9. This allow to bypass the first decompression and speedup install.

Ok, I tried running the redist w/ the command given above, but it's not install, it's just extracting it to the %systemdrive%\Install folder

Put the command line
directx_dec2005_redist.exe /Q /T:%systemdrive%\Install

in your svcpack.inf !!! and make source it's listed in directory. See http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/24/ for more infos.

Shouldn´t it be renamed in 8.3 Standards?

and yes, its only an extraction, as far as i can see.

So we need in the runonceex.cmd following?

REG ADD %KEY%\zz01 /VE /D "Installation de DirectX 9.0c" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\zz01 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\directx\dxsetup.exe /silent" /f

Please advise.

My method:

* Decompress the original exe to new DirectX folder

* Make a batch (Go.cmd) like this :

@echo off
echo Microsoft DirectX 9.0C (December 2005) ...
start /w DXSETUP.EXE /silent
cls
exit

& put it in DirectX9 folder.

* SFX the DirectX9 with executing Go.cmd at the end of temp extraction.

I use winrar and this is my settings (in the last tab of dialog) :

Setup=Go.cmd
TempMode
Silent=2
Overwrite=1

edit: just put the new .exe in SVCPACK and add it in your .inf file without any switchs.
