Stupendous Man! Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 here are the Command Line Options for the NEW Direct X 9.0b redist package.I downloaded it today and recovered the switches with this command line switchc:>dx90update_redist /?the reply was/Q -- Quiet modes for package,/T:<full path> -- Specifies temporary working folder,/C -- Extract files only to the folder when used also with /T./C:<cmd> -- Override Install Command defined by author.Which are basically the same for a TYPE 2 package.So i'd try "/Q:A /R:N" for the switches in your .inf file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidedg Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi!I am approaching the "Unattended World"...I found out on some sites that, starting with DirectX9, no switches are available.Not having access to the OEM part of Microsoft Site, the alternative seems to be using DXSetup() Api.I managed to write this very very very simple and no-error-checking utility, which uses this api.I post the source code for public knowledge, hoping it might help:--------remember to #include "dsetup.h" and to use dsetup.lib--------DWORD dwFlags;int err; dwFlags = DSETUP_DIRECTX; err = DirectXSetup(NULL, NULL, dwFlags); // do error checking and report to the user return 0;--------This snippet alone is able to start and complete DX9 Setup.DX Files must be in the same folder of the compiled exe (see MSDN doc)Bye everyone!! -- Davide DGIT Administratordavidedg@libero.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 just because you can't access the OEM microsoft site, doesn't mean you can't get a hold of the DirectX9 OPK file!I can't access the microsoft oem site and I have a copyActually, MSFN host it! This is where I got it from...And now, I host it too!Grab it off me from HEREYou don't need a single switch for this to silent install... just run it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidedg Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Thanks... but I think it's quite useless to me I can't use material I cannot own (I am preparing unattended installs for a company, and we can't use it for legal issues).Then how about different locale versions ? I need to install italian version of DirectX9... does the OPK version address non-US versions, too?Anyway, I will be using the DirectXSetup() api... I include the compiled exe (20KB) and run without any params. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invalid Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 You just need a Microsoft Passport account to enter the OEM site. If you got a Hotmail account, you can use that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
