This is the easiest version to install, as long as you have an internet connection. Websetup version (reccomended for most users) If one method fails, try the other method.
If you are running XP, you can install either (although the websetup version may work with Vista/7, it's not guaranteed)Īlso note that if you have DirectX 10 or higher installed, you need to install the Redist version as the websetup version will say that a later version is installed) If you are using Windows 7 (and possibly Vista) you may need to install the Redist version.
For the automated version, see my DXInstallHelper thread ( ))Ĭe this seems to be a fairly common problem (especially with TS2009/TS2010 users), I thought I would write this thread to give a one-stop place with all the relevant information for updating DirectX (which is required for TS2009 SP3 and later versions) This thread details how to manually update DirectX 9.0C.
