Awesome job

Thanks. This just saves a bit more space on the cd Its will do for now. Later someone will do a smaller release. Well almost sure about that.

This DX is an installer that runs during setup, it doesn't integrate in your Windows.

Especially for Windows XP, it is a waste of CD/DVD space to use the full installers that are presented in this topic.

You could take Serebys DirectX Slipstream that integrates only the newest files of the december release.

You have to keep DX in nlite of course and it's a direct Slipstream no silent installer.

It really integrates, replacing files with the newest version (DX december). So it's not an installer. It will hardly use more space on your cd/dvd.

Since it integrates and updates your DX files, it's not meant for Windows2000 since 2000 doesn't have DX.

So the installers in this topic are good for Windows2000. And Sereby's integration pack is good for XP.

hfslip ^^

I did try that. It made my virgin source smaller and added the newest dx files over the ouder one. But when i did install i got a lot more missing files messages. Should i do the hfslip after in done the nLite thing?

Well i gues i try it later again on my windows drive after i run scandisk en defreg.

Well i'm happy my silent installer works fine

Here is DirectX Redistributable March 2008

32 and 64 bit version

I could not test the 64 bit version. But it is build the same way.

so in the end is there a way to slipstream directx instead of install?

[UtCollector]

Well in the and i didn't try the hfslip any more.. I simply used my own silent installer (run from runeonce) ore a small addon that add's just the new files to the xp cd. Latest version found here: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6010

But hfslip should work to slipstream directx into the xp cd. I didn't got it done my self at that time. Just might work great now!? The hfdlip programs is self explaning if you want to give it a try.

Red's page explains what it is: it's an optional set of runtimes that you can install if you are also installing .NET.

.NET applications that need the DXfMC runtimes are very rare, and DXfMC has been more or less deprecated by Microsoft, so if you don't know if you need it, then you probably don't need it. Red offers DXfMC for people who like to be "complete", and I don't offer DXfMC because I avoid .NET like the plague.
