As the title of this post suggest does anyone know of a way to achieve this? I'm fairly sure there were ways for Windows XP but chances are I can't use the same methods.

Any tips/hints would be welcome

Vista Ships with DX 10 (and DX9L for side-by-side), so I'm not sure why you'd wan't to do this.

A lot of my old games that I play don't run unless I install it, I don't question why this is the case but they don't run unless I run the DirectX 9.0c redist I have

Had to do it recently for the Quake Wards Enemy Territory demo as well

The version of DX9 on Vista is a different beast compared to 9.0c. For all games/apps that require 9.0c you WILL need to install it on your vista machine. It won't actually install 9.0c, just the the extra files that are not included in Vista to begin with.

have you tried the /silent switch that work in xp? if it works, you can run it as an application on your vista unattended dvd.
