DirectX 9C silent installation

[brightcow]

1 Download directx_9c_redist.exe from MS website

2 directx_9c_redist.exe /? will show the command, but I found if just use the /Q and /T switch will not install this. Just extract the files

3 So in the extracted folders, type dxsetup /silent will install, at least works for me

there will be a log inside windows folder called DirectX.log show this successful.

08/18/04 12:45:48: dsetup32: Installation ended with value 1 = Installation succeeded need restart

But not restarted so I think this works

Just extract all the files to a folder in ur install folder

and do this:

start "" /wait %systemdrive%\INSTALLFOLDER\DX9FOLDER\dxsetup.exe /silent

U wont have any bugs!
