DirectX run-times

[dglienna]

I just wondered if P&D or Inno automatically check to see if DirectX files need to be installed, and install them?

Randem, are DirectX included with the Auto OS Updater?

I think that would be cool if it was. I understand you have to do it yourself from the SDK.

dglienna,

If you have declared Directx dlls in your code then ********** will pick them up. P&D Wizard will not. Those dll's are not included in the AutoOSUpdater. I will look into this and see if there is any reason that they should be installed without causing trouble.

It was brought to my attention that they are installed with games, so I wondered if they were with any installers. I then found out that the SDK has a method to include them using the P&D wizard, but I expect that it is a mod to the actual program. XP includes DX7, but they have release DX8, and a special version of DX9, but I forget who it is aimed at. I would like to utilize video clips, so I'd like to have something like this.

Thanks.
