Simple question about DirectX 8 installation
Hi,
I decided to post this question here, since it is most of a general issue rather than an specifically DirectX question.
I have Visual Basic 6 installed (full installation) and I am planning to install the DirectX 8.1 SDK (full installation too). I do not want that any of the DirectX stuff "merges", or "updates" any portion of my Visual Basic 6, including my installed MSDN. I suppose that the DirectX SDK installs in a different folder and has nothing to do with the VB6 or MSDN already installed, since I think that there are only external libraries that I had to link or reference every time that I want to program DirectX stuff. Is this is correct?
Thank you for any help.
Re: Simple question about DirectX 8 installation
Actually you only Reference DirectX with VB therefore you installation package will only install either DX7VB.dll for DirectX 7.0 or DX8VB.dll or DirectX 8.0 and 9.0.
Thats DirectX 7 for Visual Basic Type Library and DirectX 8 for Visual Basic Type Library. It will say DirectX 8 even if you have DirectX 9 installed. ;)
