Since December 2006, DirectX no longer supports Windows 98/98se/ME, so D3DX9_32.DLL will not install on these operating systems.

But it is still possible to install latest DirectX(December 2006) without D3DX9_32.DLL.

Halohalo, not exactly: this link refers to SDK (Software Development Kit), whereas DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer shows that those systems are still supported: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en
On the other hand it's interesting that redistributable version doesn't mention Win98/ME: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en
Btw, you can easily unpack this library manually.

MDGx has DirectX 9.0c on his website if my memory serves me well.
It might also be found in the "last update" thread in the "Unofficial Win98 SE Service Pack" section.

As he says: HTH

Here is D3DX9_32.DLL with patched header to run under 9x:
http://rapidshare.co...dx9_32.zip.html
besides header, it seems it does not contains evil checks aganist 9x.
However, i can't check if it is really working, because there is no app which uses it now.

This DLL is language neutral.
