Direct9.0c unattended


Recommended Posts


Yes, you can delete that patch - that's required only for dX9b, and you have 9C.

And, Ahhhhh !!!!!

sweet proof of my post above. So the the dx9c setup was already unattend-friendly (without needing to be hex-edited) with its /silent switch, eh?

By the way,

when you extract the directx_9c_redist.exe file, the following files can be removed safely (if on XP and I also think 2000):

BDA.cab, BDANT.cab, DirectX.cab, directx redist.txt, and ManagedDX.CAB.

ManagedDX.CAB is of course needed if you specify the appropriate dxsetup.exe flag.

Removing these files shaves off about 19.8 MB.

What switches make ManagedDX.cab needed on the disc?

Files information:

- BDANT.cab > Windows NT and 2000

- BDAXP.cab > Windows XP (and 2003?)

- DXNT.cab > Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

- BDA.cab > Windows 98 and ME

- Directx.cab > Windows 98 and ME

/silent with the original dxsetup.exe on Windows 2000 (using SVCPack) doesn't work. There are two errors: GDI32.dll and USER32.dll when running dxdiag

====================================

Guide to make a Silent Directx 9.0C install:

1- download directx 9.0c redist

2- extract

3- replace the dxsetup.exe by the new one here (a user already posted it up there)

4- You can delete Directx.cab and BDA.cab if you are running on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

5- Start > Run > iexpress.exe

6- select "create new self extraction directive file"

7- select "extract files and run an installation command"

8- title: dx90csilent

9- select "no prompt"

10- "do not display a license"

11- add all the extracted files

12- in the first combobox (install program), select "dxsetup.exe" and add this string at the end: " /install /silent". It now should be "dxsetup.exe /install /silent"

13- select hidden

14- select "no message"

15- choose a path where the EXE install will be saved AND check "hide file extracting progress animation from user"

16- select "no reboot"

17- select "don't save"

18- click next

19- Done!

Now you have a full silent install. You can start it where you want (svcpack included).
