Posted January 3, 201312 yr Microsoft DirectX end-user Redistributable (June 2010) Version: 9.29.1974 Supported operating systems: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2012/2008+R2/2003 SP1+, Windows XP SP2+ Website: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Quote Q: Why repack the DirectX redistributable installer you ask? A: Because the original is only a self extracting CAB archive, this (re)package will initiate the install wizard (dxsetup.exe) after extraction and it also properly accepts the /q switch for "silent" installation. x86/x64: removed MD5: 2ef61d694dbcb3b3d0f47f1bbc0ca831 Size: 90.7 MB x86: removed MD5: 0f51f57cff0bf51aa368f90da1c8b525 Size: 42.8 Edited July 17, 20186 yr by ricktendo
January 9, 201312 yr @Adrian Luca Salut! You can find what you want inside the cabs from here, except the managed directx, needed from what I remember only for xp, it was replaced by XNA for game devs. @ ricktendo Is there any reason to prefer to install the ''official'' (repacked) build instead of the lite yumeyao version? Thanks.
May 26, 201311 yr Author Not really a addon, just a repack of the installer that will allow you to use -q to make silent The original directx installer only extracted to a subdir
May 27, 201311 yr so its just copy the Direct setup to hardisk and then user will install it manuly... plz help me i need a silent or addon for Direct X so i integrate into setup ...
May 27, 201311 yr Author This is also dx9 it will not be needed for windows 8This is not completely acurate, these install the directx "runtimes". These are needed for desktop games on Windows 8 It wont update the directx engine anymore, thats why this installer only works on Windows XP SP3 and above Read more about why XP SP0 is not supported and there is an addition talking about Windows 8 here
October 23, 201410 yr I get the dreaded "Not a valid Win32 application". I have downloaded this over and over again but it still won't work on my XP Machine. SP3 and updated. No issues with anyhting other than this. Any assistance would be appreciated.
October 23, 201410 yr Probably a failed dl, let me put it on mediafireThat's what I thought as well hence me downloading it multiple times and with different browsers even and no luck.
October 24, 201410 yr Still throwing the same error. MD5 hash verified as well. I don't know what's going on.
March 2, 201510 yr "Not a valid Win32 application" on Windows XP only. Works on Windows 7. Any reason why?
March 3, 201510 yr Author Updated, managed to reduce the size slightly by removing managed code and created a smaller x86 only installer I think the "Not a valid Win32 application" problem is solved as well
March 4, 201510 yr Hello Rick, Please checkthe x86/x64 download link is still pointing to the old 95.6M Pack
March 4, 20159 yr Updated, managed to reduce the size slightly by removing managed code and created a smaller x86 only installerI think the "Not a valid Win32 application" problem is solved as wellWorks on XP perfectly now. Shame you removed "managed code" though. Thanks for the fix though.
March 4, 20159 yr Author Managed Code from what I gather is only used by game developers I could redo the installer to re-add managed code, then do one without mc, then the x86 (if wanted)
March 5, 20159 yr Managed Code from what I gather is only used by game developersI could redo the installer to re-add managed code, then do one without mc, then the x86 (if wanted)That would be great if you don't mind. Either way. I am thankful. I definitely would prefer it with managed code and I am sure there are others.
