DX9 standalone?

[DentyCracker]

Anyone know where to find this?

Erm, you mean NOT the web downloader? Not offhand. MS makes it a pain to get, actually. Although it comes with the SDK, but that's a HUGE download.

Here.

Just did a search at www.microsoft.com/download

[Jammrock]

It's called the Direct X 9.0 Redistributable package. It's 32 MB, multilingual, and located here:

Not that much of a pain for once. That's pretty unusual.

This is amazing...
Nobody had noticed that it's more than three years that directx can be d'loaded at www.microsoft.com/directx ?

Hehe, that's the only place I've ever gotten my DX downloads.

[DentyCracker]

Right clicked on it and clicked "Download with DAP" and it came up with 50 mirrors

@Denty. LOL

And btw... remember when DX9 was almost out? We got it from this MSDN site or something like that. and few hrs later they pulled it hehehe.

Drizzt,

The issue is that USUALLY you can get it there, but for some reason DX9 has been a pain to get until ... apparently recently. I don't know when I last checked but as of a couple months ago you could only get the web install from that site.

been always downloading DirectX redistributable since DX7. However it is has easier to get it from microsoft/downloads then from microsoft/directx. The directx site always points u to the webdownload and u need to search alot before u get to the redistributable which i prefer downloading since windows seems better to work better if you reinstall it every 6 mths *grin* and i dont feel like webupdating everytime i reformat & reinstall.

I usually go here
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.asp , because they name it "DirectX Home Page"

following any link to DirectX 9, the upcoming page has a bottom paragraph, showing a link to the redist version ...
